An Italian in London: The Early Music Show on 3 April

[doversoul1]

This looks rather delicious.

Lucie Skeaping presents a programme of music by members of the Ferrabosco family, Alfonso I and II - father and son. They were a family of Italian musicians who worked in England for many years at the Elizabethan court. Repertoire in the programme includes fantasias for viols performed by Phantasm, a setting of the Lamentations, and song settings of poems by John Donne and Ben Johnsonhttps://<br /> http://www.bbc.co.uk...ammes/b0100lcq

Thank you ds, will listen to this. I hadn't realised there were 2 of them - all I know of "Alfonso Ferrabosco" (which?) is that pieces by him are included in Robert Dowland's collection of pieces by his father and others entitled "A Varietie of Lute Lessons", publ. 1610.
