Biography
Magnificat is one of the world’s leading vocal consorts, admired for the variety and expressive detail of its interpretations of Renaissance and Baroque choral works. The ensemble performs in a predominantly one voice per part configuration, celebrating the character and colour of each singer’s voice while uniting them in an exceptional chemistry.
Recording exclusively for Linn, Magnificat has released a dozen acclaimed albums ranging from pre- and post-Reformation music by Thomas Tallis and William Byrd, to discoveries by Philippe Rogier, and bold interpretations of Heinrich Schütz’s Cantiones sacrae.

'By tastefully enriching and illuminating the harmony...they reinforce its glowing qualities.'
Audio Visual Club of Atlanta
'...this performance confirms their place in the very front rank of Early Music practitioners...'

'Cave shows Rogier as an interesting and astonishingly independent representative of the late Franco-Flemish tradition.'
