HILLIARD ENSEMBLE: Vocal Music of the Renaissance from England, Italy, Spain & Mexico (6 CDS)

Renaissance Music

England, Italy, Spain, Mexico

The Hilliard Ensemble

After an extraordinary 40-year career, the four-man Hilliard Ensemble disbanded in 2014. This 6-CD collection focuses on eras central to their wide-ranging repertoire – the Renaissance and Early Baroque, with music from England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Mexico. As the Guardian wrote of the Hilliard Ensemble’s farewell concert: “What came through consistently was how deeply entangled the four voices are, even while each singer retains his own individual tone. Blend and balance were instinctively, unerringly impeccable.
