| |  | Orpheus in England
Dowland: | Disdain me still Lend your eares to my sorrow good people Come heavy sleep Preludium The Earl of Essex's Galliard A Shepherd in a Shade By a fountain where I lay Away with these self-loving lads Lachrimae Pavan, P. 15 Tarleton's Riserrectione If that a sinner's sigh A Fantasie Toss not my soul In darkness let me dwell | Purcell: | She loves and she confesses too, Z413 They tell us that your mighty powers, Z630 Trumpet Tune in C major, ZT 678, called the Cibell Echo Dance of the Furies (from Dido & Aeneas) Ritornello ‘The Grove’ Fly swift ye hours, Z369 O lead me to some peaceful gloom (from Bonduca or The British Heroine, Z574) What a sad fate is mine, Z428 A New Irish Tune Z646 A New Irish Tune Z646 A New Scotch Tune Z 655 Hornpipe A New Ground in E minor, Z. T682 From silent shades ('Bess of Bedlam') Z370 Music for a while, Z583 |
Emma Kirkby and Jakob Lindberg have devised a programme which takes in a wide spectrum of emotions: from the pastoral joyfulness of By a fountain and the melancholy of In darkness let me dwell, we are led via the desperation and drama of Bess of Bedlam to the conviction expressed in Music for a while that music has the power to vanquish even death. Interspersing the songs are lute solos, including Dowland’s immortal Lachrimae, but also Lindberg’s own transcriptions of Purcell pieces such as The Cibell and the Echo Dance of the Furies from Dido and Aeneas, performed on Lindberg’s unique four-hundred year old instrument. Kirkby and Lindberg are musical partners of long standing, with earlier collaborations on BIS including Musique and Sweet Poetrie (BISSACD1505), a survey of the lute song across Europe around the year 1600. ‘A grand tour conducted by a pair of ideal guides’ was how the reviewer in Gramophone described that disc, while his colleague in International Record Review found that the ‘undeniably glorious performances’ made the disc ‘a journey well worth making’. “Supported with exceptional clarity by Jakob Lindberg, Kirkby conveys both intellectual appreciation and a deep emotional connection with the words in this recital...[her] 'Bess of Bedlam' is more sympathetic than most, and her 'Music for a While' is more enigmatic. The voice may be less beautiful than it was, but her singing is more beautiful than ever.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2011 **** “Few singers are quite a compelling with only a lute for company: Kirkby's phrasing has impeccable light and shade, and her authoritative articulation of melancholic sentiments is simply first-class...her gripping interpretation [of In darkness let me dwell] is devoid of complacence; moreover, her intonation and technique in florid music has lost none of its sparkle and precision.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2011 “Kirkby embellishes with taste and discretion...Both [she] and Lindberg are especially good here in the last Dowland item, 'In darkness let me dwell'...the tempo well judged, the lute part a translucent garment draped over Kirkby's highly expressive delivery.” International Record Review, May 2011 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

And yet he has the power to transfix an
audience, as he did throughout his Wigmore Hall recital, without the need for gratuitous showmanship or wild musical gestures. Austerity and sobriety are the names of his particular performing game, tempered by
a compelling mix of passion and commitment to the broad repertoire within his command.” Andrew Stewart, The Independent, 10th January 1996 “Among the scholar-performers who have sparked and led the early music revival, surely none has played a greater part and exerted a more benificent influence on younger musicians and the public than Gustav
Leonhardt. Harpsichordist, organist, conductor, teacher, musicologist and editor are all roles in which he has distinguished himself.” Howard Schott, The Musical Times, October 1992 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
