17th Century Playlist / Various - 17th Century Playlist / Various - Music CD

Tenor Ed Lyon has been one of the UK's most versatile and sought-after soloists for over a decade. Now, for Delphian, comes his first solo recording project, inspired by the immediacy, joy and freedom found in seventeenth-century music. Joined by Theatre of the Ayre -a flexible and innovative ensemble led by the lutenist Elizabeth Kenny - he has conceived his very own 'playlist': a live mixtape of the songs, simultaneously catchy and sophisticated, which became earworms for the listeners of their day. "Ed Lyon reaffirms his claim to be one of the pre-eminent Baroque tenors of our time." (The Independent)
