Music reviews of Dowland: Fancyes, Dreams and Spirits - Lute Music, Vol. 1
Music Review: Great introduction to lute music
Rating: 5 Stars
In contrast to John Dowlands commonly perceived notion as a "melancholic" sourpuss, most of the music here is lively and optimistic. Although in my view the lute remains an instrument primarily for evening listening, the music here is very accessible and won't require lots of patience to truly appreciate.
It's very well recorded as well. Treble is clear without being piercing, and the lute is close enough to the mics to feel "intimate", but not so close that much annoying finger scratching is audible.
All in all I find it hard to fault this CD package. Lute music doesn't get better than this.
