Topic: NEW CDs
King's College Choir are one of today's most accomplished and renowned representatives of the great British choral tradition and this is reflected in their impressive discography with EMI Classics. This new recording, in which the choir are joined by viol ensemble Fretwork, widens that representation and is a beautiful addition to the choir's repertoire. Fretwork is a consort of viols based in the UK. Formed in 1986, the group consists of six players and is considered to be one of the finest groups performing music for viol consort. This disc features a stunning selection of anthems from the Tudor Times, featuring some of the period's most prestigious composers. The disc includes a "This is the Record of John" by Orlando Gibbons which must have been one of the most popular anthems of this era judging by the number of manuscripts that contain it. Orlando Gibbons himself had an association with Kings College, Cambridge as a chorister under the direction of his eldest brother from 1596 to 1598.
