“… As its members work closely together for many years, one can be assured that the ensemble is impeccable. This is consort playing of the highest level. And Jenkins was a composer of high repute for a reason. This is brilliant music and belongs to the top of what was written for viol consort in 17th-century England…”

“… Whilst Jenkins is not exactly absent from the catalogue, this is not exactly common music and it is good to have them in the catalogue, a reminder of the sheer riches of the viol repertoire. The ensemble has already released recordings of Jenkins' five-part and six-part consorts, so it is good to have this final set. But it has been quite a wait, the recording was made ten years ago. The performances here are mellow in tone, rhythmically alert and constantly engaging. The players create a real sense of four equal parts and clearly enjoy both the challenges and the intricacies of Jenkins' writing.”  ****

“… Phantasm recorded these seventeen fantasies and two pavanes as long ago as 2012. Time, however, has done nothing to dull the beauty of the players’ honeyed tone, or the hypnotic appeal of subtle, inward-facing music — perfect for giving solace and a hint of sunshine to our dark and troubled world.”  ****
