Contre le Temps

Woman has inspired thinkers, poets and creators for thousands of years with tenderness and charm, beauty and dedication, fragility and sensuality. This talented young vocal quartet turn their kaleidoscope on the Middle Ages, where Mary is enthroned in glory as the virgin, mother and love incarnate. Works by Guillaume Du Fay – the man who heralded the Renaissance – and Hildegard von Bingen, herself one of the most acclaimed women in music history, complete this dazzling tableau.
