Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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).

5 out of 5 stars can't believe i'm the only one.......2004-11-11

It may have to do with the fact that this cd isn't easily found on the market nowadays but believe me its a shame because this is one of the band's best. While the new guy is good and Sugar Ray was great I don't know why people forget or don't mention the great sound Roomful had when Greg Piccolo was at the vocal mic. He's also a brilliant songwriter listen to the unbelievable r&b tune What Happened To The Sugar... the clever He Knows The Rules (I swear she told me she was 21!) and the tight and funky Whiplash. That's just a few of the gems on this disc. There's a great Kim Wilson (from the Fab T Birds) cameo as well on The Last Time. Just an excellent Roomful album! If you can order this one get it. The CD's only downside is the sound spectrum is a little low compared to some of today's releases. Guess you'll have to crank it up!!

              I own and have listened to all of Cosmo's previous albums (CD's) and by far this is the best yet. This CD is truly refreshing!

              5 out of 5 stars A Legend is Born.......2004-01-18

              With GET UP AND JUMP, COSMO is back with another scorcher. I believe this CD is his best effort yet. Like his rise to fame in medicine, COSMO seems destined to leave his mark on reggae music, the symphony of his homeland. Like vintage wine, COSMO seems to get better with age. His magnificent voice with absolute clarity, seems to permeate the music like strands of ribbon in a Jamaican wind. Before one gets carried away with the music, one only needs to listen to his words to realize that COSMO is something special, and that GET UP AND JUMP will be with us for a thousand years.

              I CANNOT PUT THIS CD DOWN. WHAT A TREAT!!!!
