Video of the Day: 'Weep, weep mine eyes', by John Wilbye

I Fagiolini's performance taken from their new album of the composer's madrigals

We end the week by bringing you a Video of the Day from the superb vocal ensemble I Fagiolini - one which, says the group, 'perfectly evokes English melancholy'. It's taken from their new album - out today - ​called Draw on Sweet Night, of music by the English Renaissance composer John Wilbye, and this film is of Weep, weep mine eyes.

 

Draw on Sweet Night, by I Fagiolini, is available today on the Coro label - you can listen to the complete album via Apple Music, below.
