| Crystal Tears (+free dvd)John Dowland & his contemporaries
Andreas Scholl (countertenor), Julian Behr (lute) Concerto di Viole There are few pleasures more delightful than musical melancholy, especially when it flows from the pen of the
finest Elizabethan poets and a composer whose name will be forever associated with that emotion: John
Dowland. His lute songs and consort songs form the backbone of Andreas Scholl's latest recital.
The countertenor has gathered his favourite partners around him in the service of this sublime vocal art,
elegantly distilling its fragile instants of grace.The songs are adroitly interspersed with instrumental pieces by
Dowland's contemporaries.
Bonus DVD NTSC: a performance of the song 'Venus' birds' and a documentary on the making of this
recording.Trailers available on harmoniamundi.com & Youtube.
Since it was founded in Basel in 1989, Concerto di Viole has played as a permanent ensemble. Its four
members all studied at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and each individual brings to it rich musical experience
with well-known international ensembles.They have recorded a number of CDs including German Baroque
cantatas with Andreas Scholl for harmonia mundi in 1998. “There is surely no voice more ethereal-sounding among contemporary falsettists than Scholl’s, and he lavishes a ravishingly beautiful sound on the Dowland “hits”: Go, crystal tears; Now, oh now, I needs must part; From silent night; Come, heavy sleep. The danger of monotony is averted with the interspersing of viol Fantasias by John Ward and Richard Mico, and of Dowland’s lute solos, Semper Dowland, Semper Dolens, The Lady Rich, Her Galliard and A Fancy, exquisitely played by Julian Behr. For fans of both Dowland and Scholl, this is a collector’s item.” Sunday Times, 29th June 2008 Disc of the Week |
