BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 in Concert, Light and Shadow: Vox Luminis at Kings Place

Vox Luminis explore spiritual light and shade via Tallis, Byrd, Sheppard, Morley & Weelkes

In a concert of music from the golden age of Elizabethan English polyphony the internationally renowned Belgian vocal ensemble Vox Luminis explore spiritual darkness and light.

The internationally renowned Belgian vocal ensemble Vox Luminis and their director Lionel Meunier explore spiritual darkness and light with music by some of the great names in Elizabethan English polyphony. Via Tallis, Byrd, Sheppard, Morley and Weelkes, the programme 'follows the course of a man who entrusts, gets lost, sees himself destroyed' but who at last finds salvation just before his ultimate encounter with death. 

Adding another dimension to the music, the singers of Vox Luminis will be spaced around the auditorium and, recorded in binaural stereo, the immersive, spatial experience of the live audience in Kings Place's Hall One can be enjoyed by Radio 3 listeners on headphones or earbuds. 

Recorded last week at Kings Place, London, and introduced by Martin Handley.
