From their
web site: "Phantasm, a quartet of viols founded in 1994,
catapulted into international prominence when its debut CD won a Gramophone Award for the Best
Baroque Instrumental Recording of 1997. Since then, they have released ten further recordings,
won several awards, and have become recognised as the most exciting viol consort active on the
world scene today."
