Want to know how to start a fight in UK choral circles? Ask "Who was better, Tallis or Byrd?"
We're not saying, but Byrd was in no doubt that Tallis had the crown.
Make up your own mind: come and hear Tallis's finest on Sat 12th Sept at Little St Mary's, Cambridge.

So sad to hear of Bruno Turner's passing today at the age of 95. He was the doyen of Spanish renaissance musicologists, the driving force behind our Ribera, Vivanco, and Esquivel albums, and a ready source of knowledge and encouragement for the Morales Project. A giant among men.

Fab review (& top 10 place) for our CD in Spanish music mag RITMO:
“This superb recording demonstrates that Renaissance sacred music can be intense and inspired and can speak to a troubled world like our own. This series promises to be a milestone in [Morales's] discography.”

It was ten years ago today that we gave a concert of music by Ribera in the glittering Sacristy of Toledo Cathedral - the highlight of our first Spanish tour. We've come a long way since then, but our commitment to the highlights of Spanish Renaissance sacred music is as stong as ever.

This Sunday is the Feast of the Visitation when Mary extemporised the text of the Magnificat. Discussing our latest Morales CD, Radio 3 said "between the masses there's a beautiful Magnificat. I'm so happy they're going to be recording them all because they're not well known". 😁

Our new album featured on BBC Radio 3's Essential Classics this morning. After playing a track the host, Georgia Mann, said, "I love the richness of the sound they make, a bit like several bottles of excellent red!"😄
(She then said it's out on Harmonia Mundi, but we know *that's* wrong, don't we?!)

Some pics from our recent Morales sessions with Robert Hollingworth in London.
My favourite Robert quote of the week?
"Where's my pencil? WHERE is my PENCIL?! It's RED! I mean, WHAT IS THE POINT.... oh, here it is."
Gotta love 'im!
