Orlando Consort

About

10th to 16th-century secular & liturgical music for feast days.

Medieval Christmas celebrations encompassed several feasts, including Circumcision & Epiphany. The Orlando Consort offers an unusual collection of carols ranging from devotional to boisterous, drawn from a 500-year span of secular and liturgical music from England, France and the Low Countries.

There could be no better antidote to a seasonal surfeit of over-familiar carols than this sequence of pieces ranging from austere 10th-century organum to joyously pealing 16th-century noels.” - Elizabeth Roche, The Daily Telegraph, 9 December 2006

motets and noels, superbly sung” - Hugh Canning, The Sunday Times, 17 December 2006

The Orlando Consort mix excellent performances that are delicate and intimate with others that are vibrant and exciting." - Helen Deeming, Early Music Today, December 2006/January 2007

Beautifully controlled singing from the intimate Orlando Consort, unaccompanied save for the odd drum…Listen with a warming drink.” - Geoff Brown, The Times, 1 December 2006
