Königsberg in East Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia) was a rare haven of peace during the Thirty Years’ War thanks to its geographical location. Many people, including artists and musicians, fled there from the horrors of plague and war. Heinrich Albert, a pupil of Heinrich Schütz (his cousin) and Johann Hermann Schein, the Thomaskantor in Leipzig, was appointed cathedral organist in the city in 1630. His garden hut, overgrown with pumpkin vines and suitably dubbed the ‘pumpkin hut’ (Kürbishütte), became the meeting place of the Königsberg Circle of Poets: a refuge and a space for cutting-edge creativity, spared from direct involvement in the war.

For their second album on Chandos, Freddie Crowley and his Corvus Consort - joined by the harpist Louise Thomson - turn their attention to a rich vein of choral music written for women's voices and harp. Gustav Holst was a champion of women's voices and taught in several girls' schools, most famously at St Paul's Girls' School, Hammersmith, where he worked for almost thirty years.

The Kraken Consort was born from the imagination of three musicians, friends and colleagues, whose horizons extend well beyond the baroque repertoire which allowed them to meet: Bruno Helstroffer, a musician whose versatility and freedom make him a of the most requested theorbists of the moment; two lyrical artists accustomed to opera stages around the world: Robert Getchell, a native of the United States, of Irish-Scottish origins, seasoned in the traditional repertoires of Celtic culture; and Chantal Santon Jeffery, a sought-after interpreter of 17th and 18th century English-language repertoires.
