Dowland
Marko Topchii (guitar) Laureate Series Recital (Naxos)
Hard to fault, easy to accolade [ZT]
The Queen’s Masque (Coviello Classics)
The music can’t fail to entertain, but the performances are not really satisfying [JV]
Ruby Hughes (soprano): End of My Days (BIS)
An outstanding recital; elegantly conceived, ideally recorded and beautifully performed [RHa]
Alexander Chance (alto): Drop not, mine eyes (Linn Records)
Chance is a foremost representative of his generation in the falsetto range [JV]
Dowland: Lachrimae (Challenge Classics)
A sexy Italianate take on these pieces [DMD]
Frederica von Stade (mezzo-soprano) Song Recital (Sony Classical)
(Déjà Review) One of the most sheerly beautiful and instantly recognisable mezzos of the last fifty years [RMo]
Dowland: [Complete] Lachrimae (Alpha Classics)
A fine survey of the Lachrimae with rather more verve and better balance than other options [RMo]
Lovesick (Signum Classics)
A beautiful recital of mostly rare 17th Century songs on an immortal subject [GH]
Lovesick (Signum Classics)
Lovely love songs, best taken in small doses for maximum effect [GF]
