About
A new signing for Delphian, In Echo is made up of some of Europe’s finest young early-music specialists. Each a soloist in their own right, under director Gawain Glenton they have put together a fascinating snapshot of the musical landscape during the heyday of the Hanseatic League. The seafaring nations of northern Europe have always been connected: London to Tallinn via Lübeck, Hamburg, Bremen and the ports of Holland, Denmark and Sweden. The sixteenth- and seventeenth-century composer/musicians on this recording each looked beyond their own shores and toward a sense of shared European culture and understanding. Andrew Keeling’s new work Northern Soul was commissioned specially to complement this programme.
Formed in 2016, In Echo has already given recitals at Dartington International Summer School and at York Early Music Christmas Festival. In 2018 they will perform in Regensburg, as well as making several appearances in the UK. Their director, specialist cornetto player Gawain Glenton, performs with many leading international groups and directors, including Il Giardino Armonico, Concerto Italiano, I Fagiolini and The Taverner Consort.

June 2018
In variation-based pieces, cornetist Glenton, keyboardist Silas Wollston and violinist Bojan Cicic pull material out of nowhere, like magicians…Keeling’s four-movement Northern Soul redeems passing lapses…The specific qualities of each early instrument have fired Keeling’s imagination, and the band put these qualities on display…Overall, a fascinating journey
4th February 2018
Composers travelled the trade routes of the Hanseatic League seeking patronage. This fascinating disc, with full explanatory notes by director Gawain Glenton, introduces us to some dozen of them, new names allThe fashionable melancholy of the day...is offset by cheerful folk themes and dances, as well as a sympathetic and lively new commission, Northern Soul, from British composer Andrew Keeling.
Early Music Today February 2018
The performances are outstanding. Johann Sommer’s five-part pavan on ‘Susanne un jour’ is particularly exquisite, as is Glenton’s solo turn in Johann Schop’s take on Dowland’s Lachrimæ. Andrew Keeling’s Northern Soul – commissioned for this programme – engagingly employs the myriad textures of the ensemble without straying into pastiche; however, it’s definitely the older repertoire that steals the show on the disc.
