Machaut (c.1300-1377)

Description:

Britain's leading male voice quartet! The Orlando Consort! The best of medieval polyphony music! The Orlando Consort, a male vocal quartet formed in 1988 at the National Centre for Ancient Music in England. Donald Greig, once a member of Androux Curwood and now a member of the Tallis Scholars, sings with exquisite voice supporting the lower voices, and the group is the best of medieval polyphonic music. A new recording by the Orlando Consort, which has also been the focus of Guillaume de Machaut's recording projects, is "The Strange Medicine of Fate." In this piece, love from a man to a woman is sung, and the question is asked who wrote the poem. The Orlando Consort sings it precisely, with only one person in each part, and the audience is treated to a superb ensemble performance. Tokyo M-Plus
