Our Take

One can only imagine the medieval bangers that Guillaume De Machaut would have dropped if he had lived in the age of Spotify playlists and Instagram influencers. But fear not, The Orlando Consort is here to do justice to the "Lion of Nobility" himself with their latest album.

From the moment you hit play, you're transported back to a time when minstrels roamed the land and courtly love was all the rage. The Consort's harmonies are as tight as a knight's chainmail, effortlessly weaving together the intricate contrapuntal lines of Machaut's compositions.

The standout track has to be "Quant je suis mis au retour," a hauntingly beautiful piece that showcases the Consort's impeccable vocal control. It's like being serenaded by a group of troubadours while sipping mead in a medieval castle.

But don't think this album is all fun and games. The Orlando Consort brings a modern twist to these ancient melodies, infusing them with a palpable energy that will have you tapping your feet and longing for jousting tournaments.

Overall, "The Lion of Nobility" is a triumph of medieval music revival, reminding us that even centuries-old tunes can still pack a punch. So grab your lute and prepare to be transported to a world of chivalry and romance - Orlando Consort style.
