| 23-May-2013 Frauenkirche | An evening of polyphony: The Tallis Scholars in Dresden |
 Singing polyphonic music requires a specific sound. To be truly effective there must be a beautifully rounded and well blended choral sound, but at the same time the individual lines must be clearly decipherable within the overall texture. This is a balance that The Tallis Scholars seem to find effortless. There is precision of intonation, of vocal blending, and of rhythm, and all the singers achieve this while maintaining their own personal vocal colour. Their concert in Dresden’s Frauenkirche began with a work by the composer who gave them their name, Thomas Tallis.Read full review... | |
| 24-Apr-2013 Cadogan Hall | The Tudor dynasty: Alamire perform at Cadogan Hall |
 Some of England’s greatest choral music dates from the period of political and religious upheaval during the late 15th to early 17th centuries, when composers were having to adapt to new monarchs and changes to the church service almost as frequently as they would have changed their shirts. This created an extremely fertile atmosphere for new and experimental choral music, using the full spectrum of vocal colour and texture, from the lowest bass to the highest treble in the church choir.
