Inspired by Thomas Tomkin’s key­board duet A Fancy for Two to Play, harp­si­chordists Yoann Moulin and Pierre Gallon decid­ed to con­struct an entire pro­gramme around two man­u­als. Central to this is the work of the English vir­ginal­ists who blos­somed under the reign of Elizabeth I. The works of mas­ter key­boardists Holborne, Fairhill, Dowland and Byrd make this cosy excur­sion to gold­en Elizabethan England complete.
