Traditional Glees & Madrigals

Mark Brown / Philip Ledger / Pro Cantione Antiqua

“No trace of exaggeration here and the sense of fun is well calculated to tickle the audience, not just the singers. Such an expert group might be tempted to play it too cool, but they are in the capable hands of Mark Brown who …makes sure that points are not missed. … Excellent results.”
— Gramophone
