the album cover for Iestyn Davies - If

When Michael Nyman started reinventing the English baroque back in the 1980s, one critic described the result as "pump- action Purcell". This recording combines these two singular musical styles through the stunning voice of countertenor Iestyn Davies and viol consort Fretwork, serving as the bridge across three centuries. The programme combines bold harmonies, wondrous inventions, and melodies that will haunt your dreams - whether from the 17th century or the 21st. Recorded following a concert tour of the programme, the release includes the premiere recording of a new commission from Michael Nyman, Music after a While - based upon Purcell's song, or more particularly upon it's strikingly original bass-line, with it's insidious rising chromatics. This was a near-perfect concert, contrasting two composers whose links are stronger than many people might think and performed by musicians at the top of their profession." Early Music Reviews, following a concert of the programme.
