Fair Orion, in the morn

Milton: Fair Orion, in the morn.
A collection of 25 madrigals from 23 different composers - from the famous to the obscure - make up this Elizabethan collection, published in 1601 by Thomas Morley. A musical dedication to Queen Elizabeth I, The Triumphs of Oriana displays the talents of English songwriters, long overshadowed by their European counterparts, conjuring up an image of an idealised and mythical England of old.
BBC Music Magazine: outstanding; Classic FM Magazine: "This disc is a triumph of majestic vocal ensemble"
