2023 marks the quatercentenary of the death of two huge names of the English Renaissance: William Byrd and Thomas Weelkes. Such an occasion calls for a gala of tribute albums and commemorative concerts. Of course, you need a cast worthy of kicking off these festivities, and who better than the legendary a cappella ensemble The King’s Singers and the viol quintet Fretwork? The two ensembles, both of which are internationally renowned for their cutting-edge work on early music, are simply delightful in this new recording, where the works of “Tom” and “Will” are set against each other. It's a stunning combination of secular and sacred, madrigals and instrumentals, dances and elegies. Listeners are also treated to the world premiere of two contemporary creations by Sir James MacMillan (‘Ye sacred muses’) and Roderick Williams (‘Death, be not proud’). These compositions are adapted from two elegies composed by Byrd and Weelkes respectively. Byrd’s elegy was written upon the death of his teacher, Thomas Tallis. Likewise, Weelkes’ was written upon the death of his teacher, Thomas Morley.A special mention must go to Fretwork's gambists, who put forward an assertive take on the melodies and showcase an exceptional mastery of metre and delay. The instruments and vocalists come together in perfect harmony, with the singers becoming one powerful voice that’s always perfectly intelligible. Four centuries after their deaths, "Tom" and "Will" still resonate with an immense grace that will stick with you long after the music stops. © Pierre Lamy/Qobuz
