JOHN TAVENER The Hidden Face. Nipson. Sanctus & Benedictus. With John Ward and Henry Purcell Fretwork, Michael Chance

FRETWORK makes its harmonia mundi début in this innovative program ranging from first recordings of music for countertenor and viols by John Tavener – The Hidden Face; Nipson; Apokatástasis – to consort pieces by Tudor and Jacobean masters. Michael Chance and Fretwork also join forces in a new arrangement of Purcell’s sublime anthem, An Evening Hymn.
