Page "reviews" Paragraph 251

Naturally, Mr. Deller and the other singers in his troupe are most charming and elegant when they are squarely in their tradition and singing music by their countrymen: William Byrd, Thomas Morley and Thomas Tomkins.

There is an almost instrumental quality to their singing, with a tendency to lift out important lines and make them lead the musical texture.

Both techniques give the music purity and clarity.
