Naked Byrd Two - Armonico Consort, with director/founder Christopher Monks

Includes a 20-page booklet with a discussion of the works and a history of the group. All sung a cappella, with the exception of track two, which has violin accompaniment.

From the distributor's website:
"This recording is compiled from Armonico Consort's 'Naked Byrd' programme, featuring music by Tavener, Purcell, Barber and Byrd, composers who wore their hearts on their sleeves, and whose art saw their emotions laid bare, in an atmospheric concert where magical musical moments are intertwined with sublime passages of plainchant and violin improvisation. 'Naked Byrd Two' follows on from their December 2009 release (SIGCD180 – Naked Byrd). Armonico Consort is, at its heart, a highly talented vocal ensemble that stages a wide variety of concerts. The quality of the performances they stage is reflected in the praise they have recently received:
"An achingly beautiful selection." -Classic FM
"Superb!" -The Times
"A Beautiful Sound" -BBC Radio 3."
