The Sixteen ★★★★
Fiona Maddocks
The purity of unaccompanied voices, occasionally joined by lute, singing early Renaissance
music in the intimacy of the Globe’s Sam Wanamaker Playhouse is the best kind of aural
solace. Members of the Sixteen sang lute songs by Thomas Campion and motets by
Cornysh, Lambe and others. It’s part of a Shakespeare’s Globe season on what it means to
be “English”. We’re all wondering, now more than ever.
