In November 2016, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the viol consort Fretwork, a project of major importance brought together leading vocal and instrumental performers in the field of early 17th century music, to record a CD of what is widely acknowledged to be some of the finest repertoire in all English sacred music: the consort anthems of Orlando Gibbons. 'In Chains of Gold' Volume 1 was released in November 2017 to wide critical acclaim.
In January 2019 the same forces join to make a sequel: 'In Chains of Gold' Volume 2. Angel Early Music is pleased to be part of the support for this project.
