BBC Radio 3 - The Early Music Show, Tonus Peregrinus

Antony Pitts talks to Catherine Bott about his vocal group Tonus Peregrinus.

Catherine Bott chooses music recorded by the vocal group Tonus Peregrinus and talks to its director, Antony Pitts.

The vocal group Tonus Peregrinus was founded 23 years ago by the composer Antony Pitts and has since managed to fill a niche market in the recording industry with recordings of contemporary, newly composed music and early music going back to the Medieval era. Catherine Bott chooses some tracks from the group's back catalogue of recordings and talks to director, founder and composer Antony Pitts.
