Description
The eleventh and final release in The Orlando Consort's comprehensive Machaut survey easily maintains the standards of its predecessors.
The closing couplet of the final track - 'Their singing will be sublime/ Harmoniously will they render him praise' - might well serve as a motto for the
Orlandos' achievement, not only in this album but throughout an illustrious career.
Gramophone Editor's Choice: 'The Orlando Consort's complete songs of Machaut is concluded (lacking only a few monophonic lais): all 11 albums with the same four singers, all beautifully controlled, all perfectly balanced and paced, and – perhaps most important of all – entirely without eccentricities.'
