James Bowman & Daniel Taylor (counter tenors)

Theatre of Early Music

“Taylor Bowman…complement each other as perfectly as coffee and cream. A close-recorded perspective ensure the words cut through with compelling detail.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2008 ****

“James Bowman has been around for decades, whereas Daniel Taylor is a comparative newcomer; despite the age difference, they are equals in all respects. They are heard together in "Sound the trumpet" and "In vain the am'rous flute", the fullness of Bowman's voice nicely offset by Taylor's leaner tones.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2008
