Guillaume de Machaut and Guillaume Dufay were two of the greatest Mediaeval composers, and were associated with the Champagne and Burgundy regions of France respectively. This programme contrasts chansons and motets by both composers, and also explores the role English composers of the period played in the development of French mediaeval music.
Gothic Voices, one of the world’s leading and most innovative Mediaeval groups, is famous for its recordings on the Hyperion label.
