A Byzantine Emperor at King Henry’s Court: Christmas, 1400 London
This is an album of great beauty and great serenity. Those are two qualities both the Latin and Eastern Orthodox hymns have in common.
Machaut - Remede de Fortune new triumph for Blue Heron
Blue Heron is still one of the finest vocal ensembles around, and they didn't disappoint. The music was sung with pure, clear tones of incredible expressive beauty. Les Délices provided subtle accompaniment, supporting the vocalists without detracting from them.
Hymns of Kassiani - history's first woman composer
The Cappella Romana are specialists in Byzantine chant, and this album is a stunner.
