This recording is the first in a series presenting a European
panorama of Renaissance sacred polyphony. Each of the five
CDs in the series focuses on a particular school or composer,
from whose output the familiar is placed alongside the
relatively unknown. Together the recordings document a period
of unsurpassed richness and accomplishment in the field of
sacred music.
Recorded in the Abbaye de Valloires,
Département de la Somme, France in April 1995 and
originally released on Collins Classics 14872

Reviews
"The emotional content is immediate, artful but not artificial, as Higginbottom shapes lines in huge uplifting arcs of sound."
BBC Music Magazine
"There are few boy choristers who can phrase as expressively as Edward Higginbottom’s firm rich-toned altos... a dignified, darkly eloquent performance."
BBC Music Magazine
