The Orlando Consort - Machaut: A lover's death [CD]

The eleventh and final release in The Orlando Consort's comprehensive Machaut survey easily maintains the standards of its predecessors.

The closing couplet of the final track - 'Their singing will be sublime/ Harmoniously will they render him praise' - might well serve as a motto for the Orlandos' achievement, not only in this album but throughout an illustrious career.

Gramophone Editor's Choice: 'The Orlando Consort's complete songs of Machaut is concluded (lacking only a few monophonic lais): all 11 albums with the same four singers, all beautifully controlled, all perfectly balanced and paced, and – perhaps most important of all – entirely without eccentricities.'

Hareu, hareu! le feu / Helas! ou sera pris confors / Obediens usque ad mortem

Je ne cuit pas

Quant je ne voy

N'en fait n'en dit

Ma chiere dame

Liement me deport

Martyrum gemma latria / Diligenter inquiramus / A Christo honoratus
