Fantazias

Album by Henry Purcell & London Baroque

Fantazias is a collection of instrumental consort pieces by English Baroque composer Henry Purcell, composed in the late 17th century (c. 1680s). The works employ intricate contrapuntal writing, expressive harmonic progressions and varied viol timbres, reflecting Purcell's engagement with the English consort tradition and his role in bridging late Renaissance polyphony and emerging Baroque idioms.
