About

The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book is one of the most important collections of keyboard music of the 16th century. To suit the music – by Farnaby, Byrd, Philips, Peerson and Bull, together with anonymous compositions – the recordings were made on different keyboard instruments: virginal, organ, harpsichord and spinet.

The recording received critical acclaim, and was a Gramophone Award nominee in 1983. This marks its first international release on CD.

The booklet includes the original LP sleeve notes as well as a new introduction for the reissue penned by Hogwood himself.
