When Laura Smiles

When Laura Smiles

Lute solos and songs from Elizabethan England by Philip Rosseter


Rosseter:

Sweet come again

And would you see

A fantasie

No grave for woe

Reprove not love

What then is love

Pavan in F minor

Galliard in F minor

Galliard in F major

Though far from joy

When Laura smiles

Kind in unkindness

Prelude

Pavan in G minor

Galliard in G minor

Almayne

If she forsake me

Shall I come if I swim?

Away Delights: Lute solos and song

Whether men do laugh

What heart's content


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

Beauty sat bathing

Tis true, tis day

Faire, sweet, cruell

Go, passions, to the cruel fair

Not full twelve years

Jones, Robert:

Whither runneth my sweet hart

Come sorrows

A painted tale

Thirsis and Milla

With my love my life was nestled

I saw my lady weeping

Who is it that this dark night

Can I forget what reasons force

Absence, hear thou my protestation

Come sorrow, come

Pilkington:

Aye mee, she frownes

Rosseter:

When Laura smiles

What then is love but mourning?
