Fretwork
My Days - Orlando Gibbons and Nico Muhly
Songs and Fantasias
With Iestyn Davies (countertenor)
Orlando Gibbons died suddenly of a brain haemorrhage on 5th June 1625, 400 years ago. One of this country’s greatest and still under-recognised composers, Fretwork and Iestyn Davies celebrate him in song, fantasies for viols and flamboyant keyboard music. Also to be heard is a fine tribute using the extraordinary surviving medical text on his own death. Interesting fact: Glenn Gould held Gibbons in the highest regard and wore out several Gibbons LPs of the Deller Consort!
