Celebrating the golden age of English keyboard music from the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, this personal anthology features works by the greatest composers of the time. John Dowland's beguiling Pavanes and Galliards, transcribed by Martin Peerson and William Byrd, are punctuated by John Tomkins' dazzling song-variations, Thomas Morley and William Tisdall's whirling dances, and ravishing madrigals set by Peter Philips and others. John Amner's masterful O Lord, in Thee is all my trust contrasts with William Byrd's evocative, chiming variations The Bells, showcasing the different styles of these composers. This recording extends Giulia Nuti's oeuvre of critically acclaimed recordings on historical harpsichords; her solo recital Le Cœur et l'oreille: Manuscript Bauyn (Arcana, 2017), recorded on the harpsichord built by Louis Denis in 1658, was awarded the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik. In this recording Giulia plays an exquisite Italian virginal from c. 1575.
