Hilliard Ensemble - Medieval English Music (CD)

Towards the end of the 14th century, England saw the rise of a pleasingly consonant musical style that was admired abroad as the 'English manner.' Paul Hillier and the Hilliard Ensemble are heard in a selection of the most beautiful polyphonic songs and carols from this rich period. The performances match the beauty of the music a sound of remarkable purity. Their ensemble singing is perfection itself, and each part is exquisitely phrased.
