The Orlando Consort - Machaut: The Fount of Grace [CD]

The 'fount of grace' of the title is the Virgin Mary, to whom Machaut addresses his appeals for mercy during a turbulent period in France's history.

"I admire their [Orlando Consort] deep commitment to Mauchat's art, which transcends these problems: the words are always delivered with real feeling (try En mon cuer), and one can hardly pass up the chance to hear the three late four-voice motets in close proximity." – Gramophone

GUILLAUME DE MACHAUT Songs from Remede de Fortune CDA68399

'In terms of being ambassadors for this music they do an extraordinary job, and we must say something about the whole package, because the essay, the illustrations, the look and feel of everything - it's so helpful.' (BBC Record Review)

The Florentine Renaissance CDA68349 Works by Binchois, Dufay & Isaac

'A beautiful, intimate performance......delicacy and intimacy are superbly matched to these more introspective works.' (Gramophone)

'disc 10 in The Orlando Consort's brilliant Machaut edition is undoubtedly a success. This music, though, some of it nearly 700 years old, can be enjoyed whatever your beliefs.' – Music Web International

Donnez, signeurs

Tu qui gregem / Plange regni / Apprehende arma

Tant doucement me sens emprisonnez (2vv)

Felix virgo / Inviolata genitrix / Ad te suspiramus

Hé, dame de valour

Tres douce dame

Je ne cesse de prier 'Le lay de la fonteinne'

Christe qui lux / Veni creator spiritus / Tribulatio proxima est

En mon cuer a un descort

Tant doucement me sens emprisonnez (4vv)
