About

Firminus Caron – a composer at the dawning of a new age. From the list of his surviving compositions and the number of their sources, Firminus Caron was clearly esteemed in the second half of the fifteenth century, particularly as a composer of French chansons. Most sources of his works are of Italian provenance, nonetheless the oldest French sources, from circa 1470, leave little doubt that the composer himself was a Frenchman.

Awards and reviews

October 2013

The top line is taken throughout by the peerless David Erler, a man who seems unable to produce sound. And the other four singers are among the most experienced anywhere in the world for 15th-century music...a disc that compels you to like it as it is so full of charm. Altogether a delightful revelation.
