The Tallis Scholars: Perfect Polyphony - Peter Phillips' Favorite Recordings of Renaissance Polyphony

“When I conducted my first concert with The Tallis Scholars in 1973 I could not have imagined that we would go on to perform concerts all around the world, or that millions of people would regularly listen to our recordings. We have had the happy chance to explore deep into Renaissance polyphony: here are some of the gems that have thrilled me over the years.” (Peter Phillips)
