Byrd / Dowland / Ferrabosco- Renaissance English Recorders
Renaissance English Recorders' with Julien Martin and the Résonances Consort revisits almost a century of music making and music publishing, corresponding roughly to the reigns of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. The repertoire is selected from various sources including two highly important publications of instrumental music: John Dowland's Lachrimae from 1604 and Anthony Holborne's Pavans, Galliards & Almains from 1599. The tradition of playing harpsichords in 'consort' was widespread in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. To recreate that sound, Skip Sempé, Olivier Fortin and Emmanuel Frankenberg perform music played on virginals and harpsichord.
