About
Newly edited by Richard Rastall, this collection of song settings of poetry by Sir Fulke Greville, focusses predominantly on the subject of love, making it an ideal counterpoint to St Valentine’s Day.
Martin Peerson (c1572–1651) has been known since the mid-20th century as an engaging and very performable composer with a highly individual voice; but in his own time he was much respected and published, perhaps the most able of those composers who were not in royal service.
This release is a major contribution to the discography of 17th-century English music in incomparable performances from some of the world’s finest artists in the field.
What the critics said about Sublime Discourses (REGCD341):
‘...this is one of the most exquisite recordings to come my way in a long time.’ - American Record Guide March/April 2012
‘This apt album title never seems far away during these exquisitely conversational performances of 20 consort pieces in five or six parts. Fretwork play with gentle mastery of affect ... this harmonious match of Rastall's scholarly research and Fretwork's fine musicianship is priceless.’ - Gramophone February 2012
‘... playing that ranges from buoyant and capricious to episodes of high seriousness. Throughout, we hear the flawless technique and luminous sound that have helped to establish Fretwork's reputation as one of today's leading viol consorts’ - BBC Music Magazine March 2012
