That was only my first listen.  I recently picked up the CD at library book sale.  

Initial impressions:  It sounded like "old-school" (as in mid-20th c.) Bach.  Romanticized and rhapsodic, rather than architectural.  Not at all HIP -- but I enjoyed it. 

What are your thoughts on Pires' Bach?

Thanks. Yes, Binchois Consort is excellent! I have that very album plus a few others by them on Hyperion. Many good ensembles on that label.

Haven't purchased it yet.  So you decided not to buy the box?  Or did you buy it and not like it?

R.I.P. I long ago considered listening to some of his operas (e.g. Lear, das Schloss, Medea) but never got around to it.😢

"Medea", "Das Schloss" and "Melusine" are wonderful ....
