Reviews

‘The six adult male singers of The Binchois Consort under Andrew Kirkman perform on a very high qualitative level indeed … there are two excellent earlier recordings of Frye’s Mass Flos regalis but The Binchois Consort may well come closer than their predecessors to the true spirit of the work, particularly in terms of personnel and pacing’ (Gramophone)

‘The music is sheer delight. I could listen to it for hours on end in performances of this quality … those who know The Binchois Consort’s other recordings will need no urging to go for this latest release’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘The performances are of the highest quality … this is highly recommended to all’ (MusicWeb International)» More

‘The Binchois Consort performs with stylishness and a real feeling for this period, mostly adopting broad tempos that underline the music’s natural ebb and flow, melodic invention and austere grandeur, and also encompasses jubilation, warmth and touching intimacy … included in the handsome booklet is an erudite note, texts and enticing images’ (Classical Source)» More

'Grazie a un’emissione particolarmente curata delle otto voci maschili (tre contralti, quattro tenori, un basso) la fusione sonora ottenuta è ottimale, garantendo fluidità e un amalgama equilibrato tra le parti. Una registrazione di grande pregio, affidata a uno dei migliori gruppi specialisti del repertorio medievale che la discografia possa oggi offrire' (MedioEvo, Italy)» More

'Dit album wil de artistieke parallellen verkennen, beter gezegd: de synergie, tussen de kerkmuziek en de albasten beeldhouwwerken in de late middeleeuwen … de zes mannen van The Binchois Consort zingen kristalzuiver, langs prachtig strakke en toch flexibele legatolijnen' (Luister, Netherlands)» More
