Michael Slattery (tenor), Sylvain Bergeron & Seán Dagher (direction & arrangements) La Nef Dowland dedicated his song From Silent Night “To my loving countryman, Mr. John Forster the younger, merchant of Dublin, in Ireland”, revealing his possible Irish origins. Working closely with the American tenor Michael Slattery, La Nef gives Dowland’s Ayres a simple celtic flavour. “…a talented and serious artist.” Gramophone. “La Nef has pared down Dowland's complex accompaniments, aiming for a Celtic, folky feel. Dowland-lite it may be, but the recital is beautifully performed.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2012 **** | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Whether gay or sad, simple or complex, John Dowland’s music has the power to move us four centuries after its composition. This wide-ranging anthology explores all aspects of the work of England’s greatest songwriter and lutenist, performed by leading exponents of his art today. “The collection might have sounded like a bit of a hotchpotch were it not for the fact that Dowland's celebrated Lachrimae pavans are woven through the sequence, giving the whole a sense of unity and shape. All in all, it makes a nostalgic and inspiring testimony to Dowland's versatility.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2007 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Honey From The HiveSongs by John Dowland
“The intimacy of the lute song suits Kirkby's musical personality perfectly, giving her the freedom to embellish the melodic line and colour the text with subtle nuances. Anthony Rooley proves a sensitive and discrete accompanist…” BBC Music Magazine, April 2006 **** “…the melancholy strain is never far from view in this latest selection of John Dowland's songs impeccably performed by Emma Kirkby and Anthony Rooley. Some of Dowland's most poignant songs are here, including Flow my teares, which uses the famous 'Lachrimae' tune. The performances are no less poignant.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2006 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. (Available now to download.) |

| |  | Love Bade Me WelcomeSongs and poetry from the Renaissance
This programme has been devised by Daniel Taylor and the Theatre of Early Music to present the idea of love as painted by poets and composers between 1560-1630. The musicians are joined by critically acclaimed Shakespearean actor Ralph Fiennes who recites poems by Shakespeare, Sir Walter Raleigh, Ben Jonson, Thomas Campion and others. These poems intersperse a collection of songs, duets and instrumental pieces by Dowland, Robert Jones and Robert Johnson. “Countertenor Daniel Taylor - the ensemble's artistic director - has a sweet, supple voice which complements James Bowman's darker, plangent sound. Lute, viol and harp are sensitively played by Elizabeth Kenny, Mark Levy and Frances Kelly, providing aptly soft voiced accompaniments for this most intimate of repertoires. ...if this beguiling music is not enough to seduce the ear, Ralph Fiennes's measured, thoughtful recitations surely will. A haunting collection...” BBC Music Magazine, February 2006 ***** | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. (Available now to download.) |
