The latest instalment in a series which continues to garner the highest critical plaudits. The Orlando Consort bring their customary virtues of 'supreme text-sensitivity and beauty of tone' (Early Music Today) to another recital showcasing the breadth of Machaut's musical and poetic inventiveness.
Gramophone Award Nomination 2018 - Early Music
"Machaut at his most engaging and varied...this really is one bullseye after another...Rarely since the Gothic Voices has the vocalisation of the lower lines appeared so self-evidently the right approach...if I hear a finer recording of 14th-century music this year I'll be very surprised." Gramophone Magazine Editor's Choice, July 2017
"In this enticing and entirely satisfying collection of substantial works by Machaut, the Orlando Consort continues its series, begun for Hyperion with Le Voir Dit, followed by The Dart of Love, and A Burning Heart. The penetration and purity of their singing convey great insight into the music of a composer whom they consider 'close to the summit' of the greatest composers of all time." MusicWeb
