About
Gilles Binchois (ca 1400-1460), was one of the most eminent composers of the early Renaissance. Highly esteemed by his fellows, Binchois left a lasting legacy, notably through his polyphonic chansons and sacred works, although these remain unfamiliar to the general public. This selection of works by Binchois, born in Hainault, shows the evolution of his musical language from the beginnings of the burgundian style to the later instrumental transcriptions of some of his works, as these bear witness to the timeless beauty of his melodies and harmonic structures.

Great slews of his church music seem never to have been recorded at all, among them some of his longest and most ambitious works. So the new release by Le Miroir de Musique under Baptiste Romain is very much to be welcomed, all the more so because it follows a slightly eccentric line that is unlikely to be cultivated by other such ensembles.
