Music to Hear… Alfonso Ferrabosco: Music for Lyra Viol from 1609, Volumes 2 & 3 continues Richard Boothby’s acclaimed exploration of early English viol repertoire. Joined by Sam Stadlen and Jo Levine, Boothby performs Ferrabosco’s Lessons for 1, 2 & 3 Viols — a rich sequence of pavans, almains, galliards, and corantos that illuminate the expressive range of Jacobean consort music. Written for Henry Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton, these pieces showcase Ferrabosco’s invention and refinement at the heart of the early 17th-century English court. Recorded on period instruments and gut strings, this release captures the music’s depth, intimacy, and quiet brilliance.
