Consorts for Viols;

Originally released on Avie, the 2004 Gramophone Award winner Gibbons: Consorts for viols is now part of Linns ECHO re-issue series. With this unique collection juxtaposing Anthems and Madrigals with Fantasies and Dances, Phantasm are firmly in their element of the 16th c. English consort tradition, infusing Gibbons passionate polyphony and rapturous harmonies with a suaveness unmatched by contemporary performing viol ensembles. Critics have described their performances and recordings as 'intoxicating', 'revelatory', 'electrifying' and pervaded by a truly burning spirit'.
