- In 2021, Fretwork celebrated its 35th anniversary. In the past three and a half decades they have explored the core repertory of great English consort music, from Taverner to Purcell
- Fretwork's eleventh release with Signum Classics
FANTASIA is Fretwork’s eleventh release with Signum Classics, and explores the court music of tudor Eng-
land through the works of Thomas Lupo. A very large quantity of Lupo’s private and intimate viol consort music has survived, and we can marvel at its variety and quality. He wrote for unique combinations of viols in his three-part Fantasies, however the five- and six-part fantasies are his most impressive work, serious and compelling pieces showing a fabulous command of counterpoint.
