Reviewer: Stéphan
Perreau
Abridged version :
We find Savall
accompanied on this CD by some of his faithful musician friends (Sergei
Casademeunt, Sophie Watillon, Philippe Pierlot, Lorenz Duftschmid).
They are revisiting the repertoire of consort music for viols. After
his interpretation of the works of Coprario, Purcell, Jenkins,
Holborne and Lawes, Savall brings us his vision of another English
composer “… extremely well known during the Elizabethan period.” The
reviewer, Stephan Perreau, stresses the fact that in the case of this
recording “… the complicity of the musicians is again fully evident.”
“As years go by,
it is even more evident. One needs only listen to this Fantasia
no. 14 from the Four-Part Fancies, brilliantly exuberant
or melancholic, moving without any effort. Everything is flowing
with ease, the lines are fluid, … an example of pure technique, with
instruments being perfectly mastered.”
Perreau concludes: “Astounding.”

Reviewer:
Brian Robins Excerpt: "Ferrabosco was especially renowned for his fantasias, which exerted a strong influence on succeeding generations of English consort composers. Savall has concentrated on these masterfully wrought contrapuntal pieces, giving us no less than 12 of those in four parts, pieces particularly skilled in this respect. I have to confess that, for all their undoubted qualities, I do not find them particularly ingratiating listening. To my ears, there is a kind of restless aridity about much of this music, which, for me lacks that element of romantic intensity and drama found a little later in the fantasias of William Lawes. Perhaps I’m not sufficiently familiar with the music at present, or possibly Hesperion’s performances are just not persuasive enough. It would be interesting to hear what light Fretwork or Phantasm might throw on Ferrabosco II". This article is available on the web to subscribers of Fanfare. |
