Description:

Phantasm" has won numerous awards and is considered one of the world's finest viol consort ensembles. The British consort music in particular is highly acclaimed, and this is the first time that they have recorded a collection of works by Matthew Locke. With his dramatic style, Locke was favored by "lovers of consort music" at the time. Laurence Dreifuss effectively makes Locke's humor, lyricism, and sweetness of expression sound interesting, unpredictable, and varied, without being constrained by previous conventions. To that end, the album once again features theorbo virtuoso Elizabeth Kenny, with whom he collaborated on the classic "Dowland: Lacrimée" (CKD527), which won the double Gramophone Award and Diapason d'Or in 2017.Since rock part-writing is often enhanced by the spectacular activity of the bass passages, her creative support adds depth to the album as a whole.
