Reviews

August 2017

Wadsworth's playing is sensitive and polished throughout, and he draws sumptuous velvet sounds from both the 10-course lute and the 14-course theorbo...Wadsworth's renditions of The Miller's Tale and the challenging variations on La Jeune Fillette by Piccinini are quite masterful.

August 2017

The playing in this little theatre of shadows is of course ravishing throughout, with Wadsworth again demonstrating his appreciation of the lute’s propensity for subtle gradations of tone and timbre...That he ends with two of Dowland’s most profound utterances, thus making us end where we began, is further testament to his refined sensibility.
