The retiring members are Matthew Venner, countertenor; Mark Dobell, tenor; Angus Smith, tenor; Donald Greig, baritone.
I wish the Orlando Consort a very happy retirement. I will miss them. Some of their recordings are outstanding. Machaut the Lion of Nobility an example.
Sorry to hear this.At least your lovely sound will always survive in recordings. Happy retirement to you!
I hope they will still be doing a few more “Voices Appeared” to Dreyer’s “Jeanne d’Arc” around the world before they say farewell. A profound experience.
I really enjoyed your works.
