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.
