Mister Dowlands Midnight - John Dowland CD

Product Description Swiss guitarist Christoph Denoth explores the enchanting lute music of John Dowland, in collection of his own arrangements made from Dowlands 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 melancholy, private lute music by John Dowland gets an infusion of fresh color in this recording by Christoph Denoth. Transposed to the modern guitar, the light-and-shadow contrasts of Dowlands compositions become starker; the flights of counterpoint more brilliant. But its in the quietly meditative galliards that Mr. Denoths guitar sounds most lutelike. --Fonseca-Wollheim, New York TimesAdditional Info: Personnel: Megan Stickles (vocals, guitar, piano, synthesizer, glockenspiel, tambourine); Dan Tews, Liam Betson (vocals, guitar, percussion); Kevin McMahon (vocals, guitar); Susan Putnins (vocals, piano); Eric Harm, Sarim Al-Rawi (vocals, percussion); Kevin Kearns, Sean Neafsey (vocals); Andrew Cedermark (guitar); Elio DeLuca (electric guitar, electric piano); Amy Klein (violin); David Bentley (cello); Ava Tews (clarinet); Elaine Labate, Eliane Labate (saxophone); Brian Nowakowski (trumpet); Ian Graetzer (bass guitar); Ian Dykstra (drums).
