"Renowned for their unearthly vocal blend and virtuosic ensemble singing, the four women of Anonymous 4 combine historical scholarship with contemporary performance intuition to create their magical sound. On their 1994 album Love's Illusion, the extraordinary quartet brought 13th century motets of courtly love from the Montpellier Codex to the top of the classical charts - spending 29 weeks on the Billboard Top 200. Twenty years later, they return to the source - this time exploring songs with texts that juxtapose desire for the earthly lady Marion and adoration of the heavenly Virgin Mary"--From ArkivMusic website (viewed May 1, 2014).

Anonymous 4 revisit their favorite era in repertoire that illuminates medieval women's affinity for the most complex polyphony of their time. Spanning the entire 13th century the remarkable Las Huelgas manuscript was compiled for a convent of aristocratic Castilian women who (in spite of a rule forbidding Cistercian nuns from singing polyphony) sang the most beautiful, advanced and demanding music from all across Gothic-era Europe.
