Their series of discs for Virgin Classics included CDs devoted to William Lawes\, Henry Purcell\, William Byrd\, Matthew Locke\, John Dowland and Orlando Gibbons; while their more recent work for Harmonia Mundi USA has produced three discs of J.S. Bach — The Art of Fugue\, Alio Modo and The Goldberg Variations – all of which have been exuberantly praised by critics and audiences alike. \nThe group’s musical horizons expand far beyond their core repertoire\, however\, and here they will play their wonderfully eclectic Take Five programme\, featuring works by J.S. Bach\, Tye\, Weelkes and Purcell\, alongside Kate Bush\, Michael Nyman and Dave Brubeck! \nJ.S.
