Of all the polyphonic choral music the Tallis Scholars have recorded, the early English style featured on these two discs, with its dazzling high treble parts and luminous sonorities, must rank among the finest work they have done to date. It is truly atmospheric - Henry VIII would have known this sound from childhood and may well have included some of the music recorded here at his coronation. Encompassing four discs, the two sets in this series feature composers from John Browne to Robert White and offer the listener over five hours of truly captivating music.
