Synopsis

Product Description

2010 sees Phantasm's debut on Linn Records, featuring the music of Jacobean composer John Ward, named as a Finalist in the Early Music category.

- Phantasm's illustrious recording career has resulted in the viol consort being repeatedly recognised at the Gramophone Awards since its debut in 1997, when the ensemble won Best Baroque Instrumental Recording.

- In 2004 and 2005 Phantasm's recordings of music by Gibbons and Jenkins were both named Finalists at the Gramophone Awards.

- This recording has already been awarded five stars and named a 'Choice' recording by BBC Music Magazine and won a Scherzo 'Excepcional' Award whilst also receiving many four star reviews.

- The nomination in the 2010 Gramophone Awards is further proof that Phantasm is a leading interpreter of Early Music.

CD Reviews

Phantasm plays John Ward

Rasmus Oerndrup | Copenhagen, Denmark | 03/12/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I bought this one because it was recommended in BBC Music Magazine's newsletter (September 2009) and I am quite happy with it.

I had not heard about the ensemble playing here (Phantasm) before I heard this CD, but they play it beautifully - the ensemble sound as if it was one instrument which to me is ideal. The sound is also great.

If you are not familiar with this sort of music you have to be prepared for a somewhat monotonous sound picture: all instruments playing sound alike and they play in the same tempo and at the same volume throughout the 77 minutes total running time."
