| 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... | |
| 18-Dec-2011 Sage: Hall One | Cool and understated beauty from the Tallis Scholars |
 The last Sunday night before Christmas is traditionally an evening for carol services, but the Tallis Scholars gave a cool and stylish alternative, performing a selection of works devoted to the Virgin Mary at the Sage, Gateshead. The programme was built around four very different settings of the Magnificat, Mary’s great hymn of praise, from the relatively simple early polyphony of John Taverner, to the stark beauty of Arvo Pärt’s setting.
