Alamire 'Heavenly'. A very nice review of last night's concert at St John's Smith Square; link below.

We tend not to picture Henry VIII as tall, slim, and madly in love – but in the early days of his reign, exactly 500 years ago, that's how he was and that's how the vocal consort Alamire chose to remember him in this timely celebration: A King's Christmas. ...

This should be broadcast on the BBC Radio 3 homepage, and then repeated on the BBC In Tune webpage, but it depends on whether sensitive copyright material is being broadcast on that particular show (in which case the whole programme won't be available to online listeners!).

King Henry the VIII is chiefly associated with gluttony, lechery and murder. Surprisingly, it turns out he was also a deeply sensitive soul, who liked to express himself by penning his own musical compositions. ...

Alamire Another 10/10 review from ClassicsToday.com: "The fine-tuned, well-matched, pleasingly resonant voices of Alamire ... and they do absolutely embody the meaning of the word "ensemble", which is so important in fully realizing the cumulative benefits of Josquin's carefully designed structures."

Just bought a copy of the CD online here in the US. The high price will contribute to my penury, but all in a good cause, I suppose.
