'Fraid not. I have a bit of Gibbons's choral music (which is great), but I've never even heard any of his other stuff. :shame:

Only the track on G's cover CD (Peascod Time - The Hunt's Up).
I love English viol music, Gibbons first and foremost. This track is very interesting, because it seems that Phantasm present the music in a very different way. Gone is the languid swooning sweetness of interpretations of the past, to be replaced with something much more forthright and robust, with a much greater sense of forward movement. I don't know whether this track is typical of the disc, but I guess that it is.
Gibbons' viol music in a different light, then. I like it: I suppose it moves things on from the likes of groups like "Fretwork", who also cut out much of the languidness and give the music a sense of line.
