A number of composers have been inspired by the revival of early music, among them George Benjamin, whose interest was aroused by the viol consort Fretwork. And no wonder, for their playing is a revelation…
Using modern techniques of pizzicato, harmonics and vibrato, Benjamin creates an alluring sound world in a work that is as taut in structure and richly fantastic in invention as the Elizabethan consort pieces.
