Founded in 1986, Fretwork is one of the finest viol consorts around. Their repertoire covers all of the usual suspects, but extends into the 21st century as well – they’ve played works by everyone from Nico Muhly to Elvis Costello. On the more traditional side of the viol repertoire, here they perform the complete four-part consort music by Jacobean composer John Jenkins. He’s not the most often-performed writer of music for the viol consort these days (that honour would probably go to William Lawes), but Jenkins’ music is wonderful, full of aching melodies and twisting counterpoint.
