The Hilliard Ensemble interpret new works for vocal ensemble. Many of
the pieces presented have been written specifically for the ensemble.
Includes the music of Arvo Pärt, James McMillan, Morton Feldman and Ivan Moody.
"Britain's Hilliard Ensemble dares to stitch together threads of
traditions from medieval, postmodern and post-minimalist sources, while
avoiding trivialities. The quartet maneuvers with a commanding
collective voice, enriched by dynamic sensitivity and masterful way
with inflection."
-- Los Angeles Times
