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.
