CD Reviews

Müller shines, and Wilson's lute transports.

Mark J. Oehl | Houston, Texas | 05/07/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD has proven again and again to be a personal favorite. Dowland's songs are an ethereal experience, and through Müller and Wilson's performance, they are transcendent.The energetic "Can she excuse my wrongs" contrasts with the moving "Burst forth my tears" and both show the range of energy and emotion capable of being expressed by these remarkable performers.I can't recommend this CD highly enough to fans of Dowland's songs, and to the uninitiated, this is a must buy in order to experience renaissance music at its finest.The only negative I could find was what seemed to be scratching noises in the tracks near the end of the CD. This may be peculiar only to my copy of the recording, though, so I won't let it influence my review which is otherwise overwhelmingly positive."
