Henry Purcell's Fantasias through modern eyes
For composer George Benjamin, Upon Silence – directly inspired by Purcell's Fantasias – brought a welcome end to a period of writer’s block. Its text, a poem by W. B. Yeats, portrays three historical figures, absorbed in silent contemplation: Julius Caesar, Helen of Troy and Michelangelo, who is busy painting. Led by Romina Lischka, the Hathor Consort and two fabulous vocalists also present Purcell's timeless original, along with new music for gamba consort.
