About this concert
Five years since their last sold-out performance, the exquisite voice-and-viol partnership of countertenor Iestyn Davies and early-music stalwarts Fretwork returns. They perform selections from their breathtaking Lamento album that comprises 17th-century German pieces for viol consort and voice—including works by J. C. Bach, Tunder, Scheidt, Schein, Buxtehude, and more—with organ and virginals player Silas W-llston adding to the music’s warm resonance. “The purity of [Davies’s] voice, with its rich palette of inflections, and his communication of the text, makes this ideal repertoire for him, and us,” writes The Guardian.
