RENAISSANCE & BAROQUE MUSIC (ENGLAND, FRANCE, FLANDERS, GERMANY) - HILLIARD ENSEMBLE (7 CDS)

The male-voice quartet the Hilliard Ensemble was founded in 1974 and was disbanded after 40 years in 2014. It's singers were praised by Gramophone for "the superlative purity of their vibrato-free tone, perfect blend and balance of voices and immaculate intonation." The blend between the voices is finely controlled, the tone mellow and the tuning spectacularly accurate, giving rise to an organ-like sonority that is genuinely thrilling," wrote Gramophone magazine, praising the Hilliard Ensemble's four singers, who excelled in an extraordinary variety of music over a 40-year career. This seven-CD collection extends from the Middle Ages to the Baroque, offering music by composers from England, France, Flanders and Germany.
