Binchois Consort Lily & The Rose CD

Lily & The Rose - Binchois Consort - This Hyperion release is part of an ongoing project to bring together the plainchants and choral works of early English composers, of whom John Dunstaple is the best known, and images of the alabaster sculptures that adorned English cathedrals and churches, adding substantially to the solemnity and mystery of Catholic worship. This 2018 release by Andrew Kirkman and the Binchois Consort offers a cappella pieces that are both mellifluous in their polyphony and strikingly austere in their harmonies, as well as photographs of many alabaster figures.
