About the Binchois Consort

The Binchois Consort has been presenting vivid and exciting programmes of late medieval music since 1995. Audiences across Europe and the United States have enjoyed its bespoke showcases of the most brilliant composers and glittering courts of the day, and it has recorded fourteen discs on Hyperion Records to stunning critical acclaim. The group’s recordings have won numerous music industry awards, including ‘Recording of the Month’ and ‘Early Music Disc of the Year’ in Gramophone magazine, ‘Diaposon d’or’ in Diapason (France), ‘G5’ in Goldberg magazine and ‘five stars’ in BBC Music Magazine. The group’s recording ‘Music for Henry V and the House of Lancaster’ was a ‘Critics’ Choice’ in Gramphone magazine, and a ‘Choral Choice’ in BBC Music Magazine, where it was praised as a ‘magical and moving chance to hear music directly from the circle of Henry V.’ All our recent discs have also enjoyed striking success on the UK classical charts, including No. 2 for our recent disc, Music for the King of Scots!
