Pianca and Vittorio Ghielmi perform musical miniatures
from the time of Shakespeare.
From Solomon Eccles's Division to a Ground to the
lament of John Dowland's Solus cum sola, passing to
Byrd´s lovely lullaby Come, pretty babe, this journey from
Dowland to Purcell offers more than the typical
melancholy which was the characteristic of those times.
Also included are two pieces of their own composition:
Devil´s Dream by Luca Pianca (which gives title to the cd)
and Little Dew, Little Light by Ghielmi, dedicated to the
birth of his own child. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | When Laura SmilesLute solos and songs from Elizabethan England by Philip Rosseter
Matthew Wadsworth (lute) & James Gilchrist (tenor) Gramophone Editor’s Choice artist Matthew Wadsworth presents the first ever recording devoted entirely to Philip Rosseter’s music. A timely tribute to one of the great masters of the lute and English song, When Laura Smiles features twelve of Rosseter’s most beguiling songs, including What then is love but mourning, If she forsake me, Sweet come again as well as the title track. It also includes all of Rosseter’s surviving lute solos, including an epic chromatic fantasy, two weighty pavans and several charming dances. When Laura Smiles continues Matthew’s exploration of music by John Dowland’s contemporaries, following the critically acclaimed Away Delights with soprano Carolyn Sampson (AV 2053) featuring the music of Robert Johnson. “Lutenist Matthew Wadsworth dazzles with his dexterity” – The Independent Magazine, proclaiming Matthew one of the Rising Stars of 2005 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
