When he started the Tallis Scholars, Peter Phillips had no idea whether they would be successful, but, if he were given the choice to travel the world with prepubescent boys or with grown women, he'd take the grown women...
When I met him I told him that I hoped he would not mind if I told him that my favorite TTS CD was one of the most obscure. He brightened up a bit and asked which one, and when I told him Isaac's Missa de Apostolis, he exclaimed, "One of my favorites!"
Of course, that could be just his being a smart cookie.
BTW, you missed my favowite cringe-inducing Brit musical tic:
"Father, Son, and Holy Ghosse..."
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!
