The greatest songs ever?.......2007-07-26

I heard 'clear or cloudy', from this recording, on the radio recently and had to purchase it. It is strange but it is the sort of song that makes life prior to listening to it different from life after. I find it sad that so many people haven't heard it. There are also many other wonderful works in this collection. Given you get twelve well recorded CDs with top quality performances, this has to be one of the bargains of the age.

Please buy it.

A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-05-05

Fretwork recorded this album with Michael Chance in April of 1989. This is really one of their best albums as to song selection and the time allocated to Chance, which in subsequent albums they tend to minimize. And that's not a good idea because although the string music is quite enjoyable one needs to hear a different tonality every now and then. The songs sung by Chance are absolute "gems" and he sings them with the greatest artistry and finesse!! There is no singer of lute songs today that can match his renditions. The 6 songs are: "If Women Could Be Fair"-"Lasso Vita mia, mi fa morire"-"Lullaby,my sweet little baby","Goe nightly cares,the enemy to rest"-"Ah Silly Soul" and "Ye Sacred Muses". Fretwork performs"Dances from 'Lachrimae" by John Dowland and Consort Music and songs by William Byrd. Fretwork and Chance are powerfully good musicians and work as one!!!!!!!Incidentally the album following this one :Dowland and Byrd songs includes this exact CD as their CD one. The second disc is just Fretwork.

The Grand Climax of English Culture.......2006-12-02

John Dowland (1563 - 1626) and William Byrd (1543 - 1623): Goe Nightly Cares. Consort Music and Songs. Performed by Fretwork (Wendy Gillespie; Richard Campbell; Julia Hodgson; William Hunt; Richard Boothby) with Christopher Wilson, lute, Michael Chance, countertenor [CD1] and Elizabeth Liddle, viol [CD2]. Recorded at the Maltings, Snape, Suffolk (England) in December 1987 (CD1) and April 1989 (CD2). Total time: CD1 74'57"; CD2 61'25". Originally released on single CDs in 1989 and 1990. Re-issued as a 2-CD box in 1999 as Virgin Veritas 7243 5 61561 2 8.

The reigns of Elizabeth I. (1558 - 1603) and of James I. (1603 - 1620) of England produced the grand climax of English culture. The literary side of this is well-known (Spencer, Sidney, Marlowe, Shakespeare, Jonson, Webster, Beaumont and Fletcher, Donne, the earlier Metaphysical poets). The musical aspects, on the other hand, have only recently been made available to a wider public by exponents of the early music movement. Anthony Rooley, Emma Kirkby and the Consort of Musicke performed madrigals and lute songs of the period for Decca; and Fretwork set themselves the task of recording "viol consorts" from the same decades. The viol has nothing to do with the violin or viola; it is the "viola da gamba", a nasal sounding string instrument that in Renaissance times was manufactured in several different sizes and often played "in consort", i. e. by a group of five to six musicians with a "family" of different-sized viols. Although the nasal quality of the sound lends itself to melancholy, many of the pieces played here are, in fact, dances, only John Dowland's "Lachrimae" ("Tears") and his "signature tune" "Semper Dowland, semper dolens" being really deliberately melancholy. Byrd's "In Nomines" are based on the plain-chant tradition, apparently going back to a popular melody from one of John Taverner's masses. The Consort Songs are similar to lute songs of the period but accompanied by viols.

The performances sound just as riveting today as they presumably did when these CDs first appeared around 17 years ago. The viol playing by Fretwork is absolutely spot-on, with Christopher Wilson's lute underlay providing a perfect contrast. On CD1, there are six songs performed by Michael Chance, a superb countertenor. What a pity that the sung texts are not printed in the very thin booklet! This is fascinating music that deserves more than a peremptory hearing.

As a footnote I should perhaps add that Dowland's Lachrimae and the attached dances have also been recorded on a consort of renaissance violins by the Parley of Instruments Renaissance Violin Consort, led by Peter Holman (on Hyperion). This disc is equally to be recommended, and I am glad to have both versions of this meditative but moving music.

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-11-20

Firstly, the buyer should know that this 2 CD album is a combination of almost the same song material that is included on the single CD album 'Goe Nightly Cares' and 'Music for Viols'. Also the above list is not totally accurate as to the songs that Michael 'Chance sings; so here they are: by Wm Byrd: 'If women could be fair'-'Lullaby, my sweet little baby'-'Ah silly soul'-'Ye sacred muses'-and 'Come to me, grief forever'; and by Dowland:'Goe Nightly cares, the enemy to rest' and 'Lasso vita mia'. It is really an excellent group of songs sung by Chance (countertenor)with his usual perfection. I maintain that no one sings this type of song as well as he does. Christopher Wilson very ably accompanies Chance on the lute and Paul Nicholson on the organ. Fretwork is an excellent groups and their performance includes the music of Wm. Byrd-Elway Bevin-Orlando Gibbons-John Dowland-Wm. Lawes and Anthony Holborne.

Sweet and Melancholy.......2000-01-25

This is a splendid collection of definitive quality performances by two of the greatest Elizabethan masters. The music is rich and moving, though the faint of heart should be advised that the selections are unremittingly melancholy. I find this an attraction. Nevertheless, it isn't an ideal choice for light classical music, nor as atmospheric background for a rollicking Elizabethan theme party .Neither is it ideal for relaxation--it demands too much attention. Highly recommended for contemplative listeners.

Penetrating music and fine performances.......2000-01-14

I was only somewhat familiar with this genre of music, but when a friend gave me this disc, I became very entranced with it. This music has a folk, Hausmusik feel, but with such masterly compositional effecs throughout all the pieces. Particularly fine is track 6 on the first disc, which reminds me of Barber's Adagio for Strings. Another lovely touch is the ensemble's subtle descending scale at cadences. Simply haunting, and most highly recommended.

Nice 2-for-1 collection of consort music........1999-06-30

The first CD, recorded in 1989, features Michael Chance on six tracks (no texts included), the second CD, recorded in 1987, is solely viol music.

There isn't anyone better at this genre than Fretwork so further comment is needless.

Disappointing, with such talent on show........2005-05-10

The performances are generally not very inspiring. Catherine King is usually smooth on the ear, but here, her exaggerated use of period English accent is annoying and distracting.
The recorded sound is also overly bright for my taste.
In all, there are perhaps three tracks on this disc I would enjoy hearing again. The rest are well below expectations.

So So.......2003-12-24

This is a selection of some of Dowland's most famous pieces performed in appropriate Renaissance style. Unfortunately, the quality of the performances is mixed. Some pieces are performed very well, others not. The singer on this CD, Catherine King, is inconsistent. In some songs, like "Come again, sweet love..." she is good. In others, her diction and phrasing is suspect. I may also be put off by her apparently strong Scots accent. Choice of tempi in several pieces is poor. A couple of Dowland's most famous songs are represented by instrumental versions, which are nice, but pale compared with the actual songs.

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-10-29

John Dowland is valued today as the first English composer of solo songs, mostly because no one in England has exceeded his output; he may have been equalled by Purcell. However, his distinctive blend of poem, melody and harmony remains unsurpassed. In addition, by underplaying the role of the voice, the listener's attention is directed to the poem. This de-emphasis of the voice was favoured by Elizabethans who relished the new-minted language of Shakepeare's contemporaries. Dowland has his brighter side, but his music is preponderantly melancholy. "Lachrimae" became his signature tune. The accompanying group 'The Consort of Six' was a peculiarly English invention of the 1580's. Six different instruments-treble and bass viols, flute, lute, cittern and bandora; it was in fact the first orchestra. The titles of the instrumental pieces give us some idea of the wide range of society in which Dowland moved; very "upper class". John Dowland was typical of composers of that time in that he earned his living by playing, and he was very much sought after by both amateurs and professionals. Alfred Deller, the most legendary of countertenors issued the very essence of melancholy of the 17th century English songs. One has to mention that he was a primary influence in the development of the countertenor voice and as such was a performer who traveled all over the world showing to all that this voice was to be looked upon and accepted as an authentic and singular entity in itself, to which I totally agree. Therefore, he paved the way for an entire generation of singers such as James Bowman, Michael Chance, David Daniels, Gerard Lesne and Phillipe Jarousky to name only a few. This recording is a landmark in music; the singing is skilled; the accompaniment superb and the song selection significant.

A marvelous interpretation!.......2005-07-05

This is a superb CD set. Deller is amazing and the Lute Songs have deep feelings, that send us to immemorial ages... If you love old sacred music you must have this Set.

If you had to reduce your recordings of 16th-century instrumental music to only one disc (a horrendous thought!), you'd do very well to keep this one. Rarely is any recording of any repertoire so well conceived, programmed, and performed--and rarely is the music so consistently and incredibly beautiful. The age in which this music was created may have been infinitely different from ours, but we dearly need music with such sincerity and heart these days. Lutenist Julian Bream and his period-instrument ensemble draw us into an enchanting world of beautiful, sometimes heartbreaking melodies and lovely harmonies. Occasionally we hear a lively dance, and a few times we hear Robert Tear's plaintive tenor. But mostly it's the viols, Renaissance flute, cittern, and lute performing some of the finest examples of English Renaissance music we're ever likely to hear. --David Vernier

Lovely........2005-01-14

When I first decided to commit to buying my first chunk of Múm records, this was in it. Upon opening the box, I almost had a fit over how incredibly "precious-looking" the package was - a three-inch disc splendidly decorated in a tiny digipak that imitates an over-circulated and deconstructed/redecorated library book, all sealed in a plastic tray/folder sealed with a sticker that belonged to the same artwork decorating the "book". Too cute.

I put in the disc and it read out to be about eight-and-a-half minutes. So... it's like a really long-distance phone call in CD format that you can listen to again and again. Well, that exact thing happend.

I listend quielty, and it almost made me giddy with the feeling that I was walking outside on a foggy night. The title track is almost exactly that - and it seems that the album that it came from has a big fog influence. The next track, "Once a Shiny Morning Puddle" starts of with some blurry mp3-effect rhythm much like the title (mud/puddle/the puddle must be dry because it was "once" a puddle) and proceeds to climax quite a few times and becomes almost unidentifiable in structure. Fast drums, computers, scratchy electronics, etc. Almost sad the way it ends... because it's hard to describe how GOOD it is.

So then I played it again! Please try this one and treat it well (use a sharp knife to cleanly open the sticker seeling the plastic case around the digipak).
