En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Pérotin

Après vingt ans de succès international, une émouvante fin de parcours à la tournée d'Officium par le Hilliard Ensemble et le saxophoniste norvégien Jan Garbarek. 

In Antwerp, the Huelgas Ensemble pull off an idiosyncratic and persuasive dive into Léonin, Pérotin and the world of Notre Dame polyphony.

Chant, Scottish culture and Judith Weir are the focus for this latest BBC Singers programme.

Das Huelgas Ensemble verzückt die Sinne und nährt den Intellekt mit vergessenen Musikschätzen.

VOCES8 perform choral music spanning 800 years, including a BBC commission from Alexia Sloane, with great energy, articulation and virtuosity in an impressive Proms debut at Cadogan Hall.

Freshness, enthusiasm and excellent curation made for an entertaining evening courtesy of Hugo Ticciati and O/Modernt. 

The Hilliard Ensemble celebrated their fortieth birthday at the Spitalfields Music Winter Festival, at St Leonard's Church, Shoreditch.

Alina Ibragimova barely glanced up from her score during her Bach concerto with Britten Sinfonia last night, and the result was some of the most intense, beautiful music-making I can recall hearing.

In 1993, by some strange musical alchemy, a creative partnership was born that has gone on to bear some remarkable fruit. On Officium, stylish jazz and classical label ECM brought together The Hilliard Ensemble – a vocal quartet known for the precision with which it had tackled and animated austere soundworlds from Perotin to Pärt – and Norwegian jazz saxophonist Jan Garbarek.

It has been nearly twenty years since the Hilliard Ensemble and Jan Garbarek released their first recording, Officium, in which the austere harmonies of medieval sacred music sung by the male voice quartet were augmented by Garbarek’s beautiful, freewheeling saxophone melodies.
