Founded by its conductor Andrew Kirkman in 1995, The Binchois Consort has performed widely in Europe and the United States, and has recorded fourteen albums on Hyperion to stunning critical acclaim. Its recordings have won numerous music industry awards, including Recording of the Month and Early Music Disc of the Year in Gramophone, Diapason d’Or in Diapason (France), ‘G5’ in Goldberg Magazine and five-star reviews in BBC Music Magazine. The group’s recording Music for Henry V & the House of Lancaster was the Critics’ Choice in Gramophone, and Choral Choice in BBC Music Magazine, where it was praised as a ‘magical and moving chance to hear music directly from the circle of Henry V’. All the Consort’s recent albums have also enjoyed striking success in the UK classical charts, including No 2 for the latest recording, Music for the King of Scots.
