Product Description Swiss guitarist Christoph Denoth explores the enchanting lute music of John Dowland, in collection of his own arrangements made from Dowland s original handwritten scores. Christoph Denoth writes on the appeal of Dowland: 'Dowland, the melancholic poet of the silvery sound of the lute, is free of any instrumental limitation that might have affected his compositions. The melodic and, at the same time, contrapuntal and harmonic approach of his music is both wonderful and unique. Its expression is one of noble sadness, melancholy, and tears, but the beauty is genuine and always caught my attention and appealed to my heart.' Review The arrangements are superb, adding the occasional few bars of divisions after Dowland s example and managing to remain faithful to the spirit of both the lute and the modern classical guitar. --William Yeoman Gramophone, November 2014
