Rose Consort of Viols - Alfonso Ferrabosco: Consort Music (2003)

Posted By: ArlegZ

Under the single name, Alfonso, lie two composers, father and son. The strongest bond between them must have been composing; there was precious little else, since Ferrabosco the Elder fled England precipitously in the year his son and namesake was born. As viol players they had some influence on developments in their adoptive land. They are well known to viol players today, and what is presented here, with father and son in alternation, is of far more than academic interest.
Ferrabosco the Younger is especially interesting. The melodious and seductive opening Pavan marks him out as a fully assimilated Englishman. The pieces on pre-existing material are often daringly conceived: in the Hexachord fantasies and the In nomines he shows greater imagination than his father. But the elder composer has some tricks up his sleeve, too – the piece for six bass viols makes much of the dark scoring. But viewing it in such terms, the son bests the father on just about every count: melodic invention, versatility and imagination.
Yet the contest is an engaging one, and not as one-sided as all that. All credit is due in any case to the Rose Consort for their choice and presentation of works. In the interests of the music one readily overlooks a certain waywardness in matters of tuning and sound projection. There are more polished performances of this repertoire generally, but in the company of the Ferraboscos and the Rose Consort the time passed very swiftly and pleasantly indeed. -
