Orlando Gibbons - Consorts for Viols

Gibbons, O:

English Consort Music

Phantasm

This is the Gramophone Award-winning viol ensemble Phantasm's first disc for Avie, which won them a Gramophone Award in 2004. The eccentric Glenn Gould counted Gibbons (not J S Bach!) as his favourite composer, saying "his music has moved me more deeply than any other sound experience I can think of." Listening to this disc it's no wonder. With this unique collection juxtaposing Anthems and Madrigals with Fantasies and Dances, Phantasm are firmly in their element of the 16th century English consort tradition, infusing Gibbons's passionate polyphony and rapturous harmonies with a suaveness unmatched by any other viol ensemble performing today.
