Next Episode: 18 Music Theory with Jonathan Bernard

A conversation with one of the most influential mentors in my musical life. Very few (maybe nobody?) has done more than Peter Phillips, through his work with the world-famous Tallis Scholars, to bring Renaissance polyphony to the classical mainstage.

This conversation will be oriented around his book, "What We Really Do: The Tallis Scholars."

Topics include: Inspiration for starting The Tallis Scholars, the sound, interpretation, tempo, authenticity, recording, ideal singers, Renaissance polyphony on the main stage, and a short Question and Answer session.

Recorded on May 25, 2020
