The Tallis Scholars’ Finest: Their Top 10 at Utrecht

Program: #94-16   Air Date: Apr 18, 1994

00:00

NOTE: Before the 1993 Holland Festival of Early Music at Utrecht, a poll was taken asking the following question: Of all the repertoire sung by the Tallis scholars, which are the ten best pieces? Ensemble director Peter Phillips joins us to reflect on this process, and why the Allegri “Miserere” is Number One.
