April 2006
…the melancholy strain is never far from view in this latest selection of John Dowland's songs impeccably performed by Emma Kirkby and Anthony Rooley. Some of Dowland's most poignant songs are here, including Flow my teares, which uses the famous 'Lachrimae' tune. The performances are no less poignant.
