'Shipwreck'

A programme exploring the splendour of the courts of England and Burgundy and the hazards of international travel through the chance meeting of Henry VII and Philip the Handsome. On instruments that are exact copies of the viols that may well have been the first to be seen in England, the Linarol Consort perform music that was known to both King Henry VII of England and King Philip the Handsome of France, who became shipwrecked on the south coast of England in January 1506.
