In Nomine II
Fretwork

[ Signum / 3 CD ]

Release Date: Thursday 30 January 2020

John Taverner's accidentally totemic theme is subjected to more wondrous transformations by the likes of Robert Parsons, Henry Purcell and of course Christopher Tye-and inspires new works from Nico Muhly and Gavin Bryars.

"Fretwork takes everything in its expertly burnished stride. Muhly's provocative vigour is answered by the soulful musings of the Bryars, and a consort respray of Bull's keyboard In Nomine in 11/4 sounds decidedly at home…Ravishing, too, is the recording which draws the listener directly into the heart of the ever-confiding musical discourse. This is an utterly civilised and civilising release." BBC Music Five Stars February 2020 - Chamber Choice

"This release speaks of a sustained commitment to the core repertory of English consort music while championing contemporary music for viols...This is Fretwork at their finest: historical sympathy and innovation in bounds, a fearless endeavour to plough through the 21st century in all its noise and ugliness with these old and fragile instruments that continue to have so much to say" Gramophone Editor's Choice Jan 2020
