Music reviews of Dowland: Complete Lute Works, Vol.1-5
Music Review: Really really good
Rating: 5 Stars
O'Dette does an excellent job of playing Dowland, and a few other composers to fill up the last volume. The recording is also excellent. If you listen on headphones, it is just amazing the detail you can hear. The music on these 5 CDs is marvelous: at the same time spectacular and relaxing. It is a boxed set that also comes with a very nice book, reminiscent of the really fancy big books that used to come with boxed sets of classical LPs. I bought a set for myself, and liked it so much I bought a second set as a gift for my sister.
Description of Dowland: Complete Lute Works, Vol.1-5
Dowland did for lute music what Haydn did for the string quartet and Beethoven the piano sonata. The finest lutenist and songwriter of his age--he composed several of the greatest hits of the late 16th and early 17th centuries--the surviving lute works constitute a sort of encyclopedia of the possibilities of the instrument. There are song arrangements, dance pieces, tributes to the composer's friends, even a musical self-portrait. Much of the music is fashionably sad. Lute songs generally deal with the agony of lost love, and Dowland's most popular tune was called Lachrimae (Tears). Paul O'Dette is simply the best lutenist alive. These five discs are available together at a special price, or separately. A reference edition. --David HurwitzDowland, John CDs
