Heart’s Ease
Fantasias, In Nomines and dances for viol consort from the late Tudor and early Stuart age, with Christopher Wilson lute and Paul Nicholson organ
Released on 30th August 1988
…brims with the urgency of youth, edgy enough to be authentic without assaulting the modern ear and deeply felt as well as intense.
Guardian
Also excellent is the record of English music by the viol consort Fretwork…this is sharp sauce after the gravy of viol consorts of yore.
Times
Fretwork look set to popularise English consort music as never before.
