Our Take

Ah, the sweet sounds of the Florentine Renaissance are alive and kicking on this latest offering from the Orlando Consort. Guillaume Dufay, Gilles Binchois, and Heinrich Isaac are practically brought back to life on this album, transporting you straight to the bustling streets of 15th century Florence.

The harmonies are as tight as a pair of skinny jeans on a hipster, with each voice blending seamlessly with the next. The Orlando Consort's vocal prowess is truly something to behold. It's like they've been transported from the past into the present, effortlessly navigating the intricate melodies and rhythms of these timeless compositions.

Dufay's compositions are a particular highlight, showcasing his innovative approach to polyphony and melody. Binchois and Isaac also shine brightly, with their works adding depth and complexity to the album as a whole.

Tracks like "Ave Maria...virgo serena" and "O Salutaris Hostia" will have you swaying along in no time, as the Orlando Consort's impeccable delivery draws you in and doesn't let go. This is music that demands your attention, and it's impossible to resist its charms.

So if you're in the mood for something a little different, something that will transport you to a different time and place, then look no further than this masterpiece from the Orlando Consort. It's a joyful celebration of the Florentine Renaissance, and one that deserves a place in your music collection.
