Music for Kings and Courtiers - REVIEW

Music for Kings and Courtiers: pieces by de Visee, Corbetta, Hurel, etc
Gordon Ferries (guitar, lute & theorbo)
Delphian DCD34111
A beautifully-recorded selection of 16th and 17th century repertoire brought vividly to life by Scottish virtuoso Gordon Ferries. He carefully matches each set to one of four fine replica instruments, and perfectly captures each mood from the grave beauty of de Visee's 'Royal' Allemande to the astonishingly 'modern' harmonies of Restoration composer Francesco Corbetta. Warmly recommended.
