Knock'd On The Head - William Lawes

Music for viols by the cavalier composer.

" Be careful you might get hooked" The Times

"Concordia's treatment is the most illuminating of all for its sense of the music's shape and thought. We get a strong feeling here of rolling paragraphs and episodes, guided by a tightly governed momentum from among the performers as a group, and an awareness of the viol fantasy genre as a kind of dramatic dialogue in notes. Indeed, Levy believes the consort sets had their premiere in a theatre. His

programme note is exemplary in its stylishness and detail" (International Record Review on competing releases in Lawes's 500th anniversary year)
