Consorts for the harp, bass viol, violin and theorbo
Sophie Gent (violin), Giovanna Pessi (harp), Eduardo Egüez (theorbo) & Phillipe Pierlot (bass viol & lyra-viol)
Lawes’ 30 compositions for ‘the Harpe, Base Violl, Violin and theorbo’ contain some of his finest instrumental writing.
Despite this, the works are not familiar to modern audiences.
Also included are solo lyra viol pieces which were very popular in their day.
these pieces...are always satisfying and always interesting, and it is hard to imagine them better served than by the glowingly transparent and thoughtful performances they receive here...This is an unassuming disc which has somehow taken six years to be released but it is one that offers profound pleasures.
