Fabio Fernandes
Fábio Fernandes is a Portuguese classical guitarist and lutenist based in London. Winner of the 2nd Prize in the 21st Ivor Mairants Guitar Award 2021 and 3rd Prize in the Concorso di Chitarra "Gaetano Marziali" 2021, Fábio is a versatile and confident performer. Recent highlights include recitals at the Barbican Centre, St James’s, Piccadilly, Milton Court Music Hall, The English Music Festival, a performance of Mahler’s Symphony No 7 with the Guildhall Symphony Orchestra and a concert as soloist with the Orquestra Con Spirito in Portugal.
Fábio began studying the classical guitar at the age of 11 with Francisco Gomes in his hometown, Viana do Castelo. He then moved to London in 2014 to study at the prestigious Guildhall School of Music and Drama where he completed both his Bachelor and Masters Degrees under the guidance of Robert Brightmore, David Miller, Graham Devine and Jørgen Skogmo, before being invited to be a Junior Fellow there in 2020-2021. Throughout his studies at the Guildhall, Fábio was generously supported by the Adele Kramar-Chappell Award, Help Musicians UK, the Henry Wood Trust and the Charity of Mary Barnes.
Fábio was recently offered a scholarship to join the internationally acclaimed guitar programme Máster Guitarra Alicante, in Spain, where he will have the opportunity to study intensively for 6 months with 9 of the world’s best guitarists, including David Russell, Manuel Barrueco and Sérgio Assad.
Fábio started playing the lute and theorbo in 2015 with David Miller and James Johnstone. Since then, he has performed alongside the members of the Academy of Ancient Music at the 2019 Deal Festival and participated in the 2019 London Handel Festival during the Guildhall Cantata Project. Fábio was also invited by Dame Emma Kirkby to join her project Dowland Works.
Fábio is currently in the process of recording and releasing his debut album, with the English Music Records, in which he will explore English music through the rediscovery of forgotten and lost works, new commissions and new arrangements.

Giovanni Girolamo Kapsberger (c1580-1651)
Arpeggiata Arpeggio Toccata [2:10]
There are many versions of Kapsberger's name so if you see J H Kapsberger, that is the same composer. The theorbo player in this 'lockdown' recording is Brandon Acker.

Roslyn Castle [3:25]
A beautiful tune in a version by Rob Turner, recorded around the same time as the previous item. He describes the flute played as: La Flûte de Pan-démie (Rob Turner, flute after Thomas Stanesby, Junior, London, second quarter 18th C)
G G Kapsberger
Capona [3:00]
This gentle piece of music is played here by Francesco Olivero:
Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767)
from 12 Fantasias for Solo Flute (publ 1732-33)
Fantasia No 8 in E minor TWV 40:9 [4:10]
I Largo • II Spirituoso • III Allegro
The flautist in this live performance is David Westcombe. The location is De Waag - Amsterdam's 15th century weighing-house, the city's oldest surviving building.

Katherine Ogie [3:35]
Here is Rob Turner with another of his pandemic recordings on his pandemic flute.
This air is known by various names and spellings. There may be two g's, an 'l' replaces the 'i', or she becomes "Lady Catherine". Most claims to the age of this traditional tune actually relate to when it appeared in manuscript or in print. The earliest of these that we have seen is 1675, so it must have been well-known by then.

Greensleeves to a ground [5:00]
The one thing of which we can be certain is that this tune was not written by any King of England. Its Italianate style did not reach England until after the multi-wifed monarch was deceased.
Here is a version with a ground bass, performed by the Fontanella Recorder Quintet.
Alessandro Piccinini (1566-1638)
from Intavolatura di liuto, et di chitarrone, libro primo (1623)
Ciaccona in partite variate Chaconne with variations [3:25]
This piece also works on a ground, or repeating, bass line.
Let's hear it as a solo with theorbo player Yasunori Imamura:
G P Telemann
from Sonate Metodiche / Methodical Sonatas
Sonata in E minor for flute and continuo TWV41:e2 [9:00]
I Grave
II Vivace
III Cunando
IV Vivace
Our brilliant finale piece is performed here by Frans Brüggen, flute,
Gustav Leonhardt, harpsichord, and Anner Bylsma, violoncello.
