Reviews

‘Fretwork can be expected to present [Jenkins] in a shining light, and they do. In an acoustic that is intimate but never starved of air, they render the part-writing with vivid clarity, each line sweetly singing, while functioning as a superbly balanced unit that can dance to the folk-like liveliness of Fantasias Nos 6 and 14 as readily as they can find the sonorous depths in No 9 or the pavans … a fine and worthy release.’ (Gramophone)

‘Fretwork have been at the helm of viol consort playing for more than 30 years, and … they've lost none of their verve or polish—as this disc testifies. The players envelop you in a sound here silky, there velvety’ (BBC Music Magazine)
