Info for Consort of Two

The reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603) and her successor James I (1603-1625) was a golden age of English lute music. This enchanting compilation of the album Consort of two by the Icelandic harpist and singer Sólveig Thoroddsen Jónsdóttir and the Costa Rican lutenist Sergio Coto Blanco dates from this period. In addition to solo pieces, the repertoire presented here includes duos for two lutes - an instrumentation that was very popular in the 16th century. Here the works are scored for lute and triple harp. This is based on the tradition of bringing harp and lute together - a tradition that can be traced iconographically from the 15th century at the latest. Particularly noteworthy are the four works in the consort song genre (lute, harp and voice), which have a special charm thanks to the clear voice of Sólveig Thoroddsen Jónsdóttir - well worth a listen!

Sólveig Thoroddsen, harp
