The Burgundian Court was at the centre of European culture, and Philip took his chapel choir and a host of his finest singer-composers. The Orlando Consort will sing a wonderful array of the music performed by both courts at this epic five-month summit. And what lovely music it is – rich, subtle and mellifluous, with piquant dissonances. Josquin Desprez, one of the greatest composers, declined to join the party, but the programme includes two of his pieces – partly for comparison, and partly because he’s too good to leave out. The Orlando Consort is the perfect ensemble for this music – one of Britain’s most important vocal groups, performing to the highest standards and renowned for imaginative and innovative programming. They work with leading academics, often on music that has never been performed in modern times, setting new standards of performance – particularly for the pronunciation and tuning of this fascinating repertoire. This is their third appearance at Little Missenden. “The sheer skill of the Orlando Consort leaves one speechless: everything is immaculately tuned, balanced and phrased; absolutely nothing seems to impede the flow of the music” (Gramophone) “Moving and luminous” (New York Times) “The Orlando Consort’s performances are staggeringly beautiful” (The Times) Anchieta, Juan de (1462-1523), O bone Jesu | ||

| Minimes | Miniemen Church, Brussels, rue des Minimes 62, Miniemenstraat, 1000 Brussels, Belgium Thursday 17-Mar-11 08:00pm Que vous ma dame Philippe Herreweghe's approach to music is characterised, above all, by open-mindedness. From Renaissance polyphony to symphonic works, this multi-faceted conductor explores music from many angles. This time the focus is on Josquin Desprez, one of the first masters of polyphonic music, in a programme entirely devoted to the figure of the Virgin. Works by des Prez, Josquin (1450-1521) | ||
