Huelgas Ensemble, Paul Van Nevel

Format
Digital
At the beginning of the 12th and 13th centuries, the Notre-Dame School in Paris established the cradle of European polyphony. From Léonin to Pérotin, vocal art broke free from Gregorian chant and flourished into a polyphony of unprecedented complexity and boldness. This art form, a true milestone in music history, combines spiritual inspiration with architectural precision in an unparalleled wave of inventivity. The Huelgas Ensemble restores its splendor with historical accuracy and striking intensity.
