Splendor of sacred polyphonies by Gilles Binchois (1400-1460) alternating with English anonymous carols and plainchant in 15th century style. The expertise acquired by Discantus in the oldest repertoires wonders in these 3-parts early Renaissance polyphonies. Female voices provide exceptional clarity.
