“Consort Songs” / Amsterdam Loeki Stardust Quartet, Connor Burrowes

Recorded in 1996. This CD features British treble singer Connor Burrowes. Burrowes was born in 1983, which means he was 13 years old when he recorded this CD. This is a collection of so-called “Consort Songs” by Byrd, Dowland, and others, which are generally accompanied by a viol consort, but here the musics are mainly played on large sized bass recorders. The compositions are ingeniously interspersed with dances and fantasias, giving a change to the otherwise subdued program. #baroque #renaissance #片山俊幸
