About

Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625) was one of the most complete musicians of the Elizabethan era. He made talented
contributions to every genre of vocal and instrumental music. In the domain of the fantasia for viols, he wrote for
numerous combinations of between two and six instruments and elaborated endlessly inventive formal structures,
in which traces of Italianism are by no means absent.

L’Achéron offers us a wide selection from this repertory, which it has recorded on viols based on early
seventeenth-century English.

Reviews

The recording made in a small, remote church in the Languedoc is close and vivid and also beautifully spaced. So, an important addition to the catalogue.
