Lute Music – the Golden Age
Julian Bream
(LUTE)
“Bream is a natural lutenist and marvellously sensitive in this repertoire … matched by expressive feeling. Dowland is shown in more extrovert mood than in many of his lute songs and the programme has plenty of variety” (Penguin Guide) “this anthology of English lute music, is mostly of dances whose harmonic and melodic richness shows how seriously their composers took such things. ..a musical goldmine.” (Gramophone)
