Dowland's lute works are among the most beautiful compositions of the Renaissance period. Because so many of his pieces are wistful and sad, he was known as "the melancholy Dowland," although McFarlane's selection offers a fair number of more cheerful pieces. These performances are extremely stylish, alert and expressive in every moment of the music. Paul O'Dette's Dowland recordings for Harmonia Mundi are also very well played and include all of the composer's music on five discs. For a single-disc introduction to the composer, this Dorian CD is ideal. Dowland fanatics will need O'Dette's series, and perhaps McFarlane's also. Dorian's sound is extremely realistic. --Leslie Gerber

Superb single volume collection of John Dowland's lute music.......2005-12-15

I first heard John Dowland's lute music many years ago as a classical guitar student, thought it, the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and the Spanish repertoire the cream of the music for the guitar - and still feel mostly that way. But it was awhile before I was able to find recordings of Dowland's music.

Ronn McFarlane's "Lute Music of Dowland" is a wonderful introduction to John Dowland's lute music. His playing is delightful, the digital recording itself captures his lute beautifully, and the CD offers 28 Dowland compositions, a number well known, some not, all performed stylishly in a way that captures your attention from the very beginning, to the end, of the CD.

Dowland's music represents the very peak of Elizabethan lute music in late sixteenth centry England, a period which began with lutenist John Johnson, and whose music spread in popularity across Europe.

There is an unmistakable melancholy quality about Dowland's music, but it also contains numerous memorable pieces, such as Sir John Smith's Almaine, My Lady Hudson's Puffe, The Earl of Essex Galliard, Melancholy Galliard, Queen Elizabeth's Galliard, Lachrimae, The Frog Galliard etc,; some extraordinary passagework, and appeal that very much transcends time.

Ronn McFarlane's Dowland CD on the Dorian label, along with Jakob Lindberg's Dowland CD on BIS, are the two best single CD collections I know of Dowland's lute music, apart from Paul O'Dette's five volume collection of Dowland which the serious or compleat Dowland collector might prefer. (Julian Bream also offers Dowland on his lute recital CDs, but these include other composers.)

Strongly recommended.

Wow.......2002-10-22

This one's a winner. The music of Dowland is eternal. The lute playing and recording here is peerless. The Amazon review is right on. I'm not such a lute fan, but I return to this CD often. I want more from lutenist Ronn McFarlane! Bravo to all involved here.

El Espíritu del Renacimiento.......2001-05-25

Sir John Smith's Almain, pieza con la cual comienza el disco nos resume la idea básica del Renacimiento tanto en Inglaterra como en el resto de Europa. En dicha composición (como en el resto) se encuentran los razgos más característicos: repetición y parafraseo de los motivos en diferentes intesidades y compases. ¡Bienvenidos!

It was very nice to hear the different generations of NCM's on this CD. The bonus tracks are fantastic! Great job, Tom!

A Truly Fine Collection.......2005-05-09

This newly-released CD features many of the original members of the much-loved New Christy Minstrels, before they drifted off into other careers or musical endeavours. It was also at this time that the NCM were undergoing a metamorphisis in style and content, so to many loyal fans of this wonderful folk ensemble this album represents something of a bookmark in the long and loved history of the group. Many of the original ensemble have recently re-formed under their first and best leader, singer/songwriter Randy Sparks, to the applause of rapturous crowds at sell-out concerts across the country in a limited number of appearances. Happily, with the infusion of some new members, they retain that incredible talent and harmony which first brought them to notice with such megahits as "Green Green" and "Today," and this CD is filled with many of the greatest hits of that era, played and sung in the NCM's own inimitable style. There is beauty in these songs, there is passion and loveliness and fun and magic throughout, but most of all there is the unforgettable harmony and talent of the greatest folk ensemble ever assembled, to be enjoyed yet again in this fine classic album. The bonus songs on this album are delightful, and there are many intriguing unreleased songs such as "Jim 'N' I, Him 'N' I, Flying in the Gemini" which are happy reminders of an incredible era in rock and folk music. You are sure to be entranced by this album, just as I was when I first heard it all those years ago. Thanks to whoever is reponsible for releasing all these amazing New Christy Minstrel albums on CD; each of them is a classic, and a treasure.

I got this album by a friend, and I must say that I was very sceptic, but I soon changed my mind. This album is just faboulus. It reminds me of the tunes one can hear at the Disney parks. Wonderfull.
