"It wasn't until The Sixteen championed it that this sublime music found its way back into regular performances and the consciousness of the common listener." -- NEW YORK TIMES"Wonderful music, wonderfully performed ... sit back and let these glorious sounds fill your ears and lift your spirits." -- GRAMOPHONE AWARD (EARLY MUSIC) Miraculously, the Eton Choirbook survived Henry VIII's ransacking of the monasteries. Thanks to its survival, the sacred music of the English fifteenth-century is still with us, conjuring up the atmosphere and spirit of the glorious cathedrals for which it was written It also gives a tantalizing glimpse of a wealth of choral music which was lost. CORO has now brought together all five of The Sixteen's celebrated and award-winning recordings in one boxed set. The five volumes, originally issued separately and still so available, are: The Rose and the Ostrich Feather, The Crown of Thorns, The Pillars of Eternity, The Flower of All Virginity, and The Voices of Angels.
