Motets, anthems, fantasias & voluntaries

"Perhaps the most distinctive of all is the keyboard music ... And it's here also that Egarr's musicianship is at its most compelling ... For the instrumental music, Egarr is joined by soloists of unimpeachable credentials ... The invention is of high order, the playing superb ... The choir and vocalists give the impression of being a pick-up ensemble that hasn't quite gelled ... Don't let that put you off, however: the monographic approach tends to expose composers of lesser substance but Gibbons junior passes the test admirably".

"Egarr has put together a rather charming musical portrait of Gibbons junior ... With Frescobaldian flair, Egarr makes the most of the four substantial pieces he plays here ... In the fantasy-suites violinists ... offer such luxuriant tone and finely inflected phrasing that they're in danger of smoothing away too many of the rough edges. So, we meet Christopher Gibbons here in his silky doctoral robe rather than his scruffy ale-house hessian ... A chip off the old block, certainly, and no mere splinter either. A real discovery and an exceptionally rewarding recording".
