Title

  • Fretwork with Iestyn Davies

Summary

  • These stars of the early music world dazzle in a striking range of repertoire spanning four centuries. Included are pieces by Byrd, Purcell and Jenkins from the heyday of the viol. Arias from Handel's "Giulio Cesare" and a vocal concerto by Johann Christoph Bach offer a spotlight for Iestyn Davies. Partnered with what has been called with "the finest viol consort on the planet," Davies conjures breathtaking colors and timbres: a palette perfect for a moment in the sunlit stillness of Ralph Vaughan Williams's "Silent Noon." Program: [0:25] Introduction by Susan Vita, Chief, Music Division; [07:00] William Byrd (c. 1540-1623): My mind to me, Fantasia "Two parts in one", Ye Sacred Muses, Browning; [26:10] Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958): The Sky Above, Silent Noon[33:30]; Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625): Fantasia in Four Parts; [39:00] J.C. Bach (1735-1782): Lamento; [48:30] Carlo Gesualdo (1566-1613): Beltà poi che t'assenti, Dolcissima mia vita, Sparge la notte; [1:00:00] Henry Lawes (1596-1662): Consort Set in A minor - Fantazy, Fantazy, Aire; [1:09:00] John Jenkins (1592-1678): Fantasia in Five Parts; [1:14:00] George Frideric Handel (1685-1759): Giàl'ebro mio ciglio, Passacaille, Piangerò; [1:31:00] Encore: Henry Purcell 1659-1695): Music for a whilel.
