Description
This 2-CD collection of English music from the Renaissance features the renowned Canadian early music group, the Toronto Consort. It is a reissue of two popular CDs which have been unavailable for some years, and includes music by Thomas Morley, John Dowland, William Byrd, Thomas Tomkins, Thomas Ravenscroft and other composers as well as several anonymous dances and madrigals.
Since its founding in 1972, The Toronto Consort has become internationally recognised for its excellence in the performance of Medieval, Renaissance and early Baroque music. The Consort's goal is to explore new repertoire and new ways of bringing early music to the modern audience, and it tours across Canada, the United States and Europe promoting this aim.
