One of my videos for the viol consort Fretwork has been published by The Guardian as part of their glowing review of the group’s upcoming Album, ‘Lamento’, with countertenor, Iestyn Davies. The review says:

‘If the subject matter is dark, the joy comes from the beauty of Fretwork and Davies’s interpretations, directed from organ and virginals by Silas Wollston (with a contribution, in the Schütz, from countertenor Hugh Cutting). Davies is not only capable of singing about pain and anguish – for contrast, try If (Signum Classics), his other disc with Fretwork – but the purity of his voice, with its rich palette of inflections, and his communication of the text, makes this ideal repertoire for him, and us.’
