PhantasmAbout
Drawn chiefly from the two books of the Well-Tempered Clavier, the Musical Offering and the Clavier-Übung III, the repertoire chosen for this recording has an uncanny way of forging Bach’s links with the old English traditions of the Fantasy and In nomine as much as leaping forward into a chromatic twelve-tone world where the raw emotions of expressionist modernism become not only audible but adventurously relevant. A second instalment of The Well-Tempered Consort is already planned.
Phantasm, an award-winning consort of viols, was founded in 1994 by Laurence Dreyfus and has become recognized as the most exciting viol consort active on the world scene today. The ensemble catapulted into international prominence when its debut recording won a 1997 Gramophone Award; it has since won two further Gramophone Awards in 2004 and in 2017. The ensemble was awarded a Diapason d’or de l’année for Dowland’s Lachrimae (2017) and a Diapason d’or for Byrd’s Complete Consort Music (2011).
Phantasm is Laurence Dreyfus, Emilia Benjamin, Jonathan Manson, Heidi Gröger, Markku Luolajan-Mikkola and guest Liam Byrne.
“Phantasm’s control is absolute. The playing is remarkable, and technically flawless.” – The Guardian
“Phantasm’s accomplished and expressive performances … allows new insights into Bach’s prodigious mind.” – Gramophone
