Still largely unknown today, Peter Philips was one of the finest composers to come from Elizabethan England and, afterWilliam Byrd, the most published in all the various genres of the time. This collection of harpsichord works, recorded on an original baroque instrument, includes all of his most famous pieces for keyboard – the Pavan and Galliard pairs and the Fantasia in F major – together with his sublime song and madrigal transcriptions.
