Music Recommendation

I have just finished listening to the 2 CD collection "Mnemosyne" by The Hilliard Ensemble. It is sublime. (Mnemosyne was the mother of the Muses, is credited with creating language and is therefore the mistress of memory, for those who are interested.)

It was recorded in the St Gerold monastery with it's clean acoustics, and they are accompanied by Jan Garbarek on soprano and tenor saxophones. For the record, my favourite track is "Hymn To The Sun" by Mesomedes (2nd Century Greece).
