Huelgas Ensemble Discography
The Huelgas Ensemble was founded by director Paul Van Nevel in
1971. It has specialized in choral music, frequently with instrumental
support, from the thirteenth century on to the early Baroque.
Their recordings of the High Renaissance have been especially
prized. They have also been pioneers in the performance of the
difficult Ars Subtilior repertory of the late medieval era.
The present discography is very likely incomplete, although I
