During the 1960s, the label Musical Heritage Society became the go-to one for specialized recordings of Classical music, producing a number of releases in the United States. Musical Concepts is excited to offer these recently as re-releases on the Orpheus label, available for download only in 96/24 audio. 

THE MUSIC

Astronomer, scholar, composer English-born John Dunstable shepherded the transition of English music from medieval to Renaissance, creating harmonically rich compositions for accompanied and a Capella solo and choral music, as well as music for the organ. His works often incorporate the use of a single accompanying instrument.

THE PERFORMANCE

The download features the superb American countertenor Russell Oberlin in several of its tracks. Elsewhere Dennis Stevens leads the peerlessly gifted Ambrosian Singers in several compositions – some sacredly Maria, some naughtily secular, all delivered by the participating artists in unimpeachably authentic style.

THE UPSHOT

A rare opportunity to hear the young Russell Oberlin at his best in the music of a rarely heard and unjustly neglected composer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
