SUBLIME DISCOURSES
John Milton (1562-1647) and Martin Peerson (c1572-1651)
The Complete Instrumental Music
(Editions and reconstructions by Richard Rastall)

"This apt album title never seems far away during these exquisitely conversational performances of 20 consort pieces in five or six parts. Fretwork play with gentle mastery of affect....this harmonious match of Rastall's scholarly research and Fretwork's fine musicianship is priceless."

Gramophone February 2012

".. playing that ranges from buoyant and capricious to episodes of high seriousness. Throughout, we hear the flawless technique and luminous sound that have helped to establish Fretwrork's reputation as one of today's leading viol consorts"

BBC Music Magazine March 2012
