At the end of 16th century London rose to become the most important North Sea port and, with the founding of the British<br />
East India Company in 1600, the metropolis on the Thames attained overseas importance. This London is also the<br />
marvellous world of Fancies, unique musical genres such as the Brownings and In nomines and the home of consort<br />
music – in such great demand that composers produced it incessantly for almost 120 years.<br />
The musicians of Les Escapades roam through the genres in their variegated programme, presenting the famous<br />
masters of the English virginals – William Byrd, John Bull and Orlando Gibbons – as consort composers of rich<br />
imagination. Alfonso Ferrabosco, Richard Mico and John Jenkins are presented as fantasy specialists, completed by<br />
Tobias Hume and Christopher Simpson, who bring the soloistic possibilities of the viola da gamba into focus in a<br />
humorous and virtuosic manner.
