About

Historically significant manuscript recording in association with British Library.

My Ladye Nevells Booke is one of the finest surviving Tudor music manuscripts. The contents are entirely devoted to the keyboard music of William Byrd, of which it is the single most important source. Byrd was the most important composer of the golden age of keyboard composition known as the English virginalist school.

As a solo harpsichordist and chamber musician, Terence Charlston is well known to chamber music audiences through his work with many renowned artists and especially London Baroque. He founded the department of Historical Performance at the Royal Academy of Music, London, and is professor of harpsichord at the Royal College of Music, London.

Reviews

July 2009

Terence Charleston underscores Byrd's 'grave and stately' qualities in these sober, searching performances he plumbs the melancholic depths of the fifth pavan and gives a visceral account of the sonorous eight. His robust, muscular technique makes light of Byrd's deceptively tricky scales and fiddly ornaments.

June 2009

…Terence Charlston… His playing is neatly tasteful, adding some well chosen extra ornaments but not seeking to over-elaborate or impose on such perfectly composed music. If the dance movements are a touch sober, there is strong characterisation in The Battell, helped by the crisp tang of a Flemish harpsichord copy by David Evans, an instrument which also lends impressive grandeur to A Fancie.
