Dowland did for lute music what Haydn did for the string quartet and Beethoven the piano sonata. The finest lutenist and songwriter of his age--he composed several of the greatest hits of the late 16th and early 17th centuries--the surviving lute works constitute a sort of encyclopedia of the possibilities of the instrument. There are song arrangements, dance pieces, tributes to the composer's friends, even a musical self-portrait. Much of the music is fashionably sad. Lute songs generally deal with the agony of lost love, and Dowland's most popular tune was called Lachrimae (Tears). Paul O'Dette is simply the best lutenist alive. These five discs are available together at a special price, or separately. A reference edition. --David Hurwitz

Outstanding.......2007-03-31

If you are a fan of the music of John Dowland, you must own this CD. The playing is outstanding to say the least.

It's not heavy breathing.......2006-08-22

It's great that O'Dette gives us the complete solo works, of course. I have the common reaction to O'Dette: his technique is flawless, his performance unengaging.

Others have remarked on the "heavy breathing" noticeable on the recordings -- it's not heavy breathing, but the movement of his fingers on the gut strings making that sound.

Technically good, emotionally bland. .......2006-04-11

Considering the extreme paucity of (especially solo) lute recordings currently available worldwide,
but especially in the US, this set becomes an essential "must have" for all lovers of the lute.
Yet it somehow disappoints.
I am sure that Paul O'Dette is brimming over with virtuousity and a technical expertise
that I am hardly one to pass sound judgement upon.
But the recordings have a flatness and monotony;
the songs are rendered with precision, but seem to lack feeling, empathy, or enthusiasm throughout the offering.
It is an impressive compendium, and I'm glad I purchased it.
There are very few lutenists out there producing any music at all, so Mr. O'Dette should certainly be praised
for delivering such a substantial feast to our ears.
It just should have had more flavor.
Where is Konrad Ragossnig when you need him?

Highly recommended.......2005-10-23

I bought Volume 1 of this set a couple of years ago. It has become one of my favorite CDs, so I thought I would enjoy the full set. I have not been disappointed. I find the sound quality excellent, the playing superb. The included booklet has a lot of interesting background material. The music is great as background for a dinner party or intimate conversation, but has depth aplenty for concentrated listening. I often listen to it while working at the computer where I swear it improves concentration and productivity!

A few tunes appear more than once as Dowland reused some work, but the arrangements are sufficiently different to be interesting. It is his complete lute works, after all. Some might criticise the set for sounding too much in the same style. It is the work of one composer, and if you happen to like the style, as I do, this is a pro rather than a con.

Another reviewer mentioned obtrusive breathing on the recording. I had listened to Volume 1 for two years before reading the review and had not noticed this. On listening carefully, there is breathing audible, but I do not find it a problem. Perhaps it depends whether one listens to the music or the background.

just a warning..........2005-10-14

Beautiful music, but... you can hear Paul's heavy breathing throughout. Apparently a lot of other reviewers either don't hear the heavy breathing, or aren't bothered by it, but for me, it's a near deal-breaker. Go ahead and mark my review as unhelpful, but I had to put the warning out there.

My first graders love this cd!.......2005-08-28

Music is so important in the classroom-and at home. This cd is great. The music is fun and the words are meaningful. I hope to get the whole set!

Sure Fire for Prechoolers!!.......2005-01-14

I've taught music enrichment classes for preschoolers for over ten years and the Allards' recordings are THE BEST! They truly understand the musical and physical needs of young children. All songs are musically excellent and great to sing and listen to, with lots for kids to do with their hands and bodies. Best of all this music is really age-appropriate, unlike so much "children's music" out there. You'll wonder how you ever lived without them! Kids LOVE this music!

Music grown ups can listen to too!.......2002-11-06

I loved this CD--very upbeat. Short songs for kids but great musicianship for grown ups.

To "A music fan"........2003-07-11

What you are hearing is NOT breathing. It's fret and string noise. It's very noticeable when you have a guitar, lute, or string solo.

This CD is fascinating. It's very well done. When I heard it on my public classical station, I just had to order the real thing.

Heavy breathing?.......2003-01-28

Okay, two stars for this work isn't really fair... but I just want people to be aware that through most of this disc, you can hear the performer breathing. It's very low-pitch, and always seems to happen during the crescendos of the music. Another reviewer likened it to a 'hum'... I disagree... a constant hum wouldn't bother me at all, but the intermittent gutteral sounds drive me up the wall. Couldn't they have digitally edited that out? As for the music on the disc, it's excellent (5 stars). Call me paranoid, but I find myself focusing on the breathing, and it really jars me. I've found the only time I can listen to this disc is when I'm in my car, and the drone of the road (hey, I drive a Civic) cancels out the breathing noises. Then I love this disc.

5-star music.......2002-11-09

I don't get the 4-star ratings. I have the complete 5 volume set, and I'm overjoyed. The range of emotions, etc., etc., and the playing is fantastic. I hear Mr. O'Dette groan or moan or whatever sometimes, but it's a hundred times less disturbing than Glenn Gould's humming. If O'Dette has to utter a few sounds to play this well, so be it. Act now: buy all 5 volumes.

reflective and open.......2001-07-05

As an early music fan I have walked with Paul O'Dette through his often faithful and always insightful recordings of John Dowland's complete lute works with great expectation and wonder. Dowland's repertoire was not a small one; and Mr. O'Dette deserves great credit for this massive undertaking.

Volume one is a perfect example of all the things that characterize the rest of recordings in the series...It contains delightful songs (some standouts here are: "Mistris Whittes Thinge"; "A Dream"; and "Mr. Knight's Galliard"). All of songs are played masterfully by Mr. O'Dette. In fact, I would go so far as to say that what we have here are songs written by a master composer and in turn played by a musician who is a master of his craft.

Dowland's music is great for "slipping into." It is the kind of music that is both reflective and open. This is great stuff for thinking, meditating, or for playing in the background during good conversation among friends.

If you are a fan of Early Music, or someone who enjoys lovely, introspective music--this recording is for you. I recommend it highly.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........2001-06-11

Despite some shoddy production--the hum of a ventilation system (or something) is quite audible at the opening of this record--COMPLETE LUTE WORKS VOL. 1 is a fine recording, and a tempting inviation to buy the rest of the series.
