After forty years of performing together and more than fifty recordings, the Ensemble Gilles Binchois are as vital and relevant as ever. Dominique Vellard and his musicians make all eras of musical history seem contemporary. This release features Mediterranean sacred music from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Based on Machaut's model, the Masses heard here are the work of anonymous composers attached to the courts of Avignon, Barcelona and Cyprus.
