"The voices and players of Ensemble Gilles Binchois take us back to the fourteenth century with performances of engaging character, charm and conviction...Characterised by gentle, reedy countertenors and bright, light tenors, this ensemble have lots of vocal personality; they keep phrases buoyant while generally avoiding an acceleration towards those delightfully angular Ars Nova cadences." - Gramophone Magazine, September 2019.
