About

Phantasm’s bold and passionate style of consort playing does full justice to John Ward’s Consort music for five and six viols, recorded here complete for the very first time. Recorded in the warm acoustic of Wadham College Chapel, Oxford, this recording reveals works that seduce the listener with lyrical melodies and music of great charm.

Phantasm’s rare ability to produce such a richly expressive, unified sound allows the subtlety and elegance in Ward’s music to be fully realised.

John Ward (1571-1638) was a noted madrigalist and contemporary of Gibbons. His viol music is of further interest due to an abundance of historical references to Pavans, Italian ‘madrigalisms’ and plainsong (the latter demonstrated in Ward’s three examples of the In Nomine).

Phantasm, founded in 1994, catapulted into international prominence when its debut CD won a Gramophone Award for the Best Baroque Instrumental Recording of 1997. Since then, Phantasm has released ten further recordings, won several awards, and become recognised as the most exciting viol consort active on the world scene today.

Phantasm:
- Laurence Dreyfus: treble viol and director
- Wendy Gillespie: treble and tenor viols
- Jonathan Manson: tenor viol;
- Markku Luolajan-Mikkola: bass viol
