Established in 1990, the ensemble have recorded numerous CDs for Naxos,[2] their first winning the Cannes Classical Award (Arvo Pärt's Passio), and two albums of Antony Pitts' music for Hyperion Records[3] – Seven Letters and Alpha and Omega. Their latest album, Music from the Eton Choirbook (Naxos 8.572840), was recorded using a new microphone technique developed by NRK engineer Geoff Miles.[4]
