| This excellent CD highlights the unjustly neglected musical legacy of two of England’s most influential seventeenth-century composers: Henry and William Lawes. As Elizabeth Kenny points out in the liner notes, 'history has favored the model of great artist as someone who is isolated and tortured by genius'; the successful and relatively well-adjusted Lawes brothers simply did not fit this profile. |

| The Ensemble Jachet de Mantoue here turns its attention to Morales, with spectacular results. The fascinating Missa de Beata Virgine is interspersed with a series of motets that demonstrate various facets of the composer’s style, sealed with the great Lamentabatur Jacob and the profound sorrow of Circumdederunt me, but including lesser-known works such as Beati omnes qui timent Dominum and Qui consolabatur me. |

One of the best kept musical secrets in the City of London is the annual Bach Festival that takes place at the Church of St. Anne and St. Agnes every July. Now in its 12th year, the Festival is timed so that the last concert always falls on the anniversary of Bach’s death on 28 July. |

Indeed, London was the European capital of music in the eighteenth century, so many foreign musicians chose to settle there. Such was the case of the Italian-born Giuseppe Sammartini (1695-1750) who settled in London in 1728. |
