Description:

Alfonso Ferrabosco II, an Italian who was the viol (viola da gamba) player of the British royal family from the reign of Elizabeth I to that of Charles I, was also the most successful composer in Britain at that time. He became a composer just like his father Alfonso Ferrabosco I, who had a tumultuous life, and composed "In Nomine" (a consort based on the monophonic chant "Glory to the Holy Trinity"), which is traditional in England, until the 17th century, and developed it into an elaborate rhythmic composition with technical overlapping melodies and other distinctive features. Violinist Romina Lischka, born in 1982, studied with Paolo Pandolfo at the Schola Cantorum and Philippe Pierlot at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. She is a gem of a musician who has played with the Ricercar Consort. The Hathor Consort, which she founded in 2012, has received critical acclaim for its debut disc, "Dowland: Lacryme or Seven Tears" (Fuga Libera FUG718).On this album, too, these works, which are rarely heard together, are presented in a lush manner with advanced technique and intimate ensemble.
