John Jenkins, Consort Music, Fantasia Suites for Treble, Bass and Organ, for Treble and Two Basses. Apollo Consort. John Jenkins is probably the most prolific English composer of the entire 17th century. His music can be marvellously light, but at the same time extraordinarily detailed and occasionally virtuosic. The Apollo Consort are highly skilled, but also able to abandon themselves into the music. "Jenkins is probably the finest English composer for instruments of the mid-seventeenth century, so this recording which mixes stunning divisions for two bass viols with fantasias and suites for a trio of violin and two basses(with organ) promises well. The Apollo Consort's playing is rhythmically alive and their sound is intimate, with the fast divisions deftly executed." - The Gramophone.
