Tallis Scholars Sing Flemish Masters - The Tallis Scholars (2 CDs)

"The Flemish masters have been at the heart of our work from the beginning, just as they were at the heart of the whole Renaissance musical scene—and their Masses were the showcase in which they displayed their most sophisticated achievements. This specially priced selection of previously released recordings features five of the greatest, from five of the greatest masters." (Peter Phillips)

‘As ever Peter Phillips directs these performances with clarity, precision and a feel for a nicely modulated line. A great deal of scholarship has gone into producing the music on the disc, but when you listen you forget scholarship and simply lie back and enjoy some fabulous music, beautifully and intelligently sung’ (MusicWeb International)
