"The Orlando Consort functions on a consistently high level both in programming and in execution... this group quickly came to match the excellence of the best male vocal ensembles anywhere, not just in England."
- Fanfare
The music of Antoine Busnois (c. 1430-1492) has inspired intense scholarly and musical interest in recent times. With this survey of the different genres - sacred and secular - in which Busnois excelled, the Orlando Consort demonstrates the composer's supreme technical mastery, his melodic flair and his rhythmic vitality. This CD is a comprehensive portrait of an early-Renaissance genius.
