The Tallis Scholars on BBC Radio 3
Catherine Bott presented a performance on Sunday's Early Music Show of John Taverner's Missa Corona Spirea by The Tallis Scholars, directed by Peter Phillips, which opened the 2009 York Early Music Festival.
The ensemble also performed the two winning entries of the 2009 National Centre for Early Music's Young Composers' Award - Arise by Elizabeth Edwards, and God by Michael Perrett. Catherine introduced the music, met the composers and spoke with Peter Phillips about the work of The Tallis Scholars, and about the competition.
‘The opening salvo in this year’s festival, on until July 18, was stylishly unleashed by The Tallis Scholars under their founder-director Peter Phillips.’
Martin Dreyer, The Press, July 2009
