Dowland: Lachrimae, or Seaven Teares
Hespèrion XX, Jordi Savall
"Seaven Passionate Pauans set forth for the Lute, Viols, or Violons"
Here is John Dowland’s masterpiece and one of Jordi Savall’s greatest achievements!
Published in 1604, Dowland’s 'Lachrimae' were composed for 5 viols and lute seven Pavans based on the air 'Flow My Tears' (hence, the additional title 'Seaven Teares Figured in Seaven Passionate Pavans') alternate with Galiards and Alemands, to create the necessary contrast in this unmatched masterpiece.
This 1987 recording is still the cornerstone of any Dowland discography: the various classical awards clearly speak in favour of its artistic integrity, and it is now available for the first time in a vivid multichannel remastering.
Booklet : English, French, German, Italian, Castillian, Catalan
Early Music ReviewDecember 2013
The publication is performed complete and is wonderful listening, with expressive playing and superbly vibrant, rich sound. The balance of the inner parts and the lute is very satisfying, and the superlative music itself is endlessly enthralling.
21st February 2014
The sequence is performed with meticulous attention to Dowland's instructions...There are plenty of alternative recordings but, given its excellent sound and its very reasonable price, this is irresistible.
1st December 2013
The players revel in the cult of melancholy with which Dowland, the "English Orpheus" of the Elizabethan age, is so deeply associated...Full of grief-laden dissonance, the music hardly raises a smile but the brilliance of Hespèrion XX's playing brings cheer.
