John Potter (tenor), Milos Valent (violin & viola), John Surman (soprano saxophone, bass clarinet, tenor & bass recorders) & Stephen Stubbs (baroque guitar & vihuela) The ravishing third album of the widely acclaimed Dowland Project features a slightly different line-up of outstanding players from different cultural backgrounds fusing early music, folk and jazz sensibilities - tenor John Potter, violinist Milos Valent, saxophonist John Surman and baroque guitarist Stephen Stubbs - and a repertoire ranging from Gregorian chant and the 13th century Carmina Burana manuscript to Josquin Desprez and Portuguese traditional song. “...The point about the Dowland Project’s work is less the repertoire than the freedom and telling immediacy with which it is performed. It isn’t that the composer’s notes aren’t respected – rather they are interpreted and embellished by insightful musicians eager to dig beneath. John Potter’s beautifully modulated light tenor summons timeless spirituality and sensuality.” Sunday Times, 20th April 2008 **** “On the final track, the three instrumentalists let their hair down in a jam session that celebrates both similarity and difference; it's a surprise end to a disc that is overwhelmingly meditative in character. Forget crass labels like "crossover" - "Romaria" is as pure a musical experience as you're likely to have.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
