Julian Bream (lute & guitar), Edith Steinbauer (treble viol), Beatrice Reichert (alto & tenor viol), Frieda Litschauer (tenor viol), Ernst Knava (bass viol) & Elizabeth Osborn (soprano) The Golden Age Singers, Margaret Field-Hyde The set comprises Bream’s solo Dowland LP (1954) – which was his debüt solo recording, played on lute - and his solo Bach LP (1956), both originally recorded on the Westminster label and justly celebrated at the time. Here they are brought together with a wide selection of Dowland ayres, sung by The Golden Age Singers with Bream’s lute accompaniment. The CD booklet has a newly commissioned note by Tully Potter, a personal friend of Julian Bream, and includes reproductions of the original LP covers, LP labels and photos of the artists. “…Bream's genius transcends all. Whether it's in the astonishing intensity of Dowland's Melancholy Galliard and Forlorn Hope Fancy or in the finely proportioned sense of pace and drama in Bach's Chaconne, the impression is ultimately of a meeting of equals.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2008 |

| |  | John Dowland - Lute Music Volume 1Fancyes, Dances & Spirits
“The prospect of a Nigel North set is something to drool over, and this first installment doesn't disappoint. Pre-eminently the lutenist's lutenist, North is steeped in the music - and technically beyond reproach. Can anyone slip the colourist gears as smoothly? Every opening chord makes you sit up and pay attention; lazy listening is never an option.” BBC Music Magazine  BBC Music Magazine

Joanna MacGregor's 2002 Mercury Nominated Play is a summing-up of her work in the last ten years: it ranges from the beauty and tranquillity of Elizabethan composers William Byrd and John Dowland through to funky collaborations with tabla genius Talvin Singh and South African jazz pianist Moses Molelekwa; from an intensely dramatic, filmic score written by the young Belgrade composer Ivana Ognjanovic to Nancarrow's wild boogie-woogie study no 11. Also included are the meditative Incarnation II by Japanese composer Somei Satoh and one of Piazzolla's most famous tangos, Libertango. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
