The Tallis Scholars (early music ensemble), Peter Phillips

Fayrfax: Maria plena virtute
Fayrfax: Ave Dei Patris
Fayrfax: O Maria, Deo grata
Fayrfax: Aeternae Laudis Lilium

‘With his unusually large output, Fayrfax bridges the gap between the Eton Choirbook and Tallis. No one before him had achieved the kind of expressive power he managed in these four antiphons, which every student of English music should study as being trailblazing and quite exceptional.’ – Peter Phillips

"These are probably among the world’s best singers for this kind of music; and they now have enormous resources of experience. As always, The Tallis Scholars run effortlessly like a Rolls-Royce; and everything seems unchallengeably in place." - Gramophone Magazine, November 2024
