Countertenor Iestyn Davies, widely recognized as one of the world’s finest singers, joins the acclaimed viol consort Fretwork in this exploration of exquisite and deeply spiritual 17th-century German repertoire.

A beloved genre in the Baroque era, the lamento’s origins lay in early 17th century Italian opera, before finding its way into sacred music. It was quickly embraced by German sacred composers, who used its expressive nature to depict the sorrow of mankind’s sin and the tragic Passion of Christ. Johann Christoph Bach (1642-1703)’s Ach, dass ich Wassers gnug hätte, his best-known work that laments the sinfulness of humanity, forms the foundation of this programme that traverses across Baroque Germany.
