1.Awake Sweet Love [IMPORT] from: Vanguard Classics January 26, 1999

2.Dowland: Collected Works from: L'Oiseau-Lyre May 12, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £61.91
This music is, in my opinion, one of the pinnacles of western culture. In no other era was such beautiful and profound poetry set to equally masterful music. It is like Shakespeare come to musical life, and indeed Dowland was Shakespeare's contemporary and was a high figure of the Elizebethan renaissance. For the 4 books of songs, the Consort of Musicke's 70s recordings have yet to be surpassed, nor likely will they ever be. There are many possible ways for these songs to be sung and performed, but the Consort captures them all with unerring taste, passion tempered by high dignity. The singing, particularly Emmy Kirkby's and Martyn Hill's is often radiantly beautiful, but David Thomas and John York Skinner's does not slouch either. ... Read More:

4.Dolci miei sospiri - Arie Antiche - Monteverdi, Frescobaldi, Dowland, Caccini, Jones, Handel, Carissimi by: Various Composers June 26, 2006

Recently I have bought several cds of old arias: this is probably the only one among them stylistically completely in order, probably due to the undoubtful mastery of Mr Matteuzzi (and to the competence of the producer). His voice is not particularly beautiful nor sensual, some of his high notes sound decidedly unappealing. He chosed to include some British arias, which is not a bad idea per se but would have required a whole anthology and a better pronunciation. The orchestration sounds rather heavy and woodden

When his first Dowland approach was released a few years ago, there was a gentleman from the States that pointed right here in this pages that Sting's recording is far from what we should expect from a year 2000 journey into John Dowland's music and, if somebody is really willing to hit the sky into this direction, then ECM Records recordings with The Dowland Project is the right answer. It is still indubitable truth and though I pretty much appreciate most of the Sting Projects or The Music of Police Projects, I should advise Sting to stick on being played by others, not to perform what he obviously isn't, a classical trained singer.
