John Dowland

Show & Culture

Accompanying himself on the lute, the British musician moved European courts with his tender and melancholic singing. For the 400th anniversary of the death of the Elizabethan composer, Ensemble Jupiter promises to move us deeply with its poignant Songs, which sublimate all the nuances of romantic despair. Under the motto "Semper Dowland, semper dolens," the Lachrimæ are also admirable instrumental tears, whose poetry and refinement console and move us. Lutenist Thomas Dunford and his Ensemble Jupiter, bringing together some of the best soloists of the new baroque generation, excel in this remarkable repertoire.
