Christopher Gibbons: Motets, anthems, fantasias & voluntaries

Duplicated from (harmonia mundi Academy of Ancient Music, The Choir of the AAM and Richard Egarr "Christopher Gibbons: Motets, anthems, fantasias & voluntaries") Born into an English musical family, organist & composer Christopher Gibbons (1615-1676) probably received early training from his famous father Orlando Gibbons. He sang in the choir of the Chapel Royal and went on to a distinguished career at Westminster Abbey and in the court of Charles II. With this showcase programme of motets, anthems, fantasias for strings, and organ voluntaries (all of which are receiving their first recording), Richard Egarr, the Academy of Ancient Music and the Choir of the AAM, aim to rescue the composer from unjust obscurity.
