I was fortunate to see James Bowman, John Turner, and David Pugsley perform a tribute to David Munrow at the Royal Naval College Chapel in November 2006. After spending many hours listening to Early Music Consort albums from childhood to adulthood, I was amazed to finally hear Bowman's (to me) very familiar voice in the flesh. Munrow passed almost before my time, so the 2006 event was the closest I came to properly seeing the Early Music Consort.
Did Bowman influence Munrow to hate vibrato in singing or did Munrow so influence Bowman?
Rest in peace, Mr Bowman.
