Collegium Vocale Gent
A beautifully focused sound and a fine vocal blend are among the many exceptional qualities that define Philippe Herreweghe's Collegium Vocale Gent as one of the world's most accomplished vocal ensembles, especially as interpreters of early music.
Exploiting the warm, resonant acoustics of Greyfriars Kirk, Collegium Vocale Gent perform The Tears of Saint Peter by Renaissance composer Roland de Lassus, a cycle of 20 exquisite sacred madrigals that powerfully express grief, regret and forgiveness in music of moving simplicity and consoling contemplation.
