'It is difficult to imagine more lucid or elegant performances. In a very short time, the Binchois Consort have established themselves as one of the very finest ensembles in the field' (Gramophone)
'A very fine disc. Another first-rate disc from Andrew Kirkman: this is a must' (International Record Review)
'Excellent. It is a perfect example of that all-too-rare marriage of first-rate scholarship and high-quality musicianship' (Daily Telegraph)

'Fascinating' (CD Review)
The celebrations surrounding the marriage in 1468 of Margaret of York, sister of Edward IV of England, and Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, constituted one of the pinnacles in the history of the Court of Burgundy - an opportunity for display on a grand scale with numerous musical events and celebrations. Music from the 'Burgundian Court Manuscript' - whose contents may have been performed at ceremonies associated with the wedding - is performed on this disc by the award-winning Binchois Consort under Andrew Kirkman.
