here are five of my current favorites: Orlando Consort -- John Dunstaple: Musician to the Plantagenets Tallis Scholars -- William Cornysh: Stabat Mater Gothic Voices -- The Mirror of Narcissus - Secular Songs by Guillaume de Machaut Venance Fortunat Ensemble -- Fulbert de Chartres: Cantor of the Year 1000 Ensemble Organum -- The Chant of the Templars - the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem in the 12th Century and i also have to mention Benjamin Bagley and the late Barbara Thornton and their ensemble Sequentia, for, among things, two wonderful traversals of the more-or-less complete works of Hildegarde von Bingen.
