Author:
A truly international disc. Medieval English songs sung most movingly by a favourite English group in an English church (St Jude's on the Hill) but recorded, produced and released by a French company. It is smoothly performed and produced, with interest maintained by the alternations achieved by the six voices interspersing solos or duets with part singing. The recording is entirely appropriate with just the right amount of ambience and a degree of clarity which adds to the fascination of the medieval pronunciation.'
