Lamento | Iestyn Davies and Fretwork (UK)
Thursday, November 28, 2024, 1930 - 2100
". . . a sublime voice, a faultless technique and superb artistry, all of which Davies has in spades." – Keith McDonnell, MusicOMH
Fretwork has been setting the standard for the viol consort performance for over 35 years. Their impressive recordings of late Renaissance and early Baroque consort music have been universally praised, and the ensemble has toured throughout the world to great acclaim.
"Fretwork is the finest viol consort on the planet" – Stephen Pettitt, The London Evening Standard
The concert will feature an exploration of exquisite and deeply spiritual 17th-century German repertoire.
A beloved genre in the Baroque era, the lamento's origins lay in early 17th century Italian opera, before finding its way into sacred music. It was quickly embraced by German sacred composers, who used its expressive nature to depict the sorrow of mankind's sin and the tragic Passion of Christ. Johann Christoph Bach (1642-1703)'s Ach, dass ich Wassers gnug hätte, his best-known work that laments the sinfulness of humanity, forms the foundation of this programme that traverses across Baroque Germany.
