Dowland:

Can she excuse my wrongs? (First Booke of Songes, 1597)

If that a sinner's sigh

From silent night

Come again, sweet love doth now invite

Flow my teares (Lacrimæ)

Come away, come, sweet love

In darkness let me dwell

Thou mighty God

Go Crystal tears

Fine knacks for ladies

Clear or cloudy

Shall I strive with wordes to move?

Come heavy sleep

Sorrow, come

Prelude for lute

If my complaints could passions move

In this trembling shadow cast

Lasso vita mia

Tell me, true Love

Now, O now, I needs must part

Awake, sweet love


Gérard Lesne (alto)

Ensemble Orlando Gibbons

These beautiful and melancholy “Ayres” by the English 16th century composer John Dowland may be seen as precursors of the songs of the Romantic period, two centuries later. They are performed here by the renowned combination of Gerard Lesne and the Ensemble Orlando Gibbons.

Britten:

Nocturnal, Op. 70

after John Dowland

guitar solo by Craig Ogden

Dowland:

Unquiet thoughts

Say love if ever thou didst find

Sorrow, stay

Away with these self-loving lads

Fantasia No. 7 from A Varietie of Lute Lessons

Come away, come, sweet love

Sleep, wayward thoughts

Come heavy sleep

Flow my teares (Lacrimæ)

I must complain

If my complaints could passions move

Captain Digorie Pipers Galliard

What if I never speed?

To ask for all thy love

Now, O now, I needs must part

In darkness let me dwell


Mark Padmore (tenor), Elizabeth Kenny (lute)

Mark Padmore is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest tenors working today, celebrated in the opera house, the concert hall and as a peerless recording artist. He is admired—among other things—for his ‘extraordinary diction and whispering chamber-like intimacy … [his] joy in conveying the emotional core of each situation’ (Gramophone)

“Padmore provides context by singing Dowland's original song before Craig Ogden steals in, alert to the Nocturnal's every nuance, and with a palette of colours both caressing and disquieting. Completing the frame, 'Flow my Tears' is beautifully inflected, though finer still is 'In Darkness let me Dwell' where in the final bars Padmore's enrapt engagement seems to conjure up the very chill of death.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2008 ****

“Mark Padmore again shows why he is one of today's finest tenors. The quicker songs, like "Away with these self-loving lads", gain in clarity from a semi-declamatory approach, while the slower are eerily viol-like.” Gramophone Magazine, Janurary 2008
