The Grand Climax of English Culture.......2006-12-02

John Dowland (1563 - 1626) and William Byrd (1543 - 1623): Goe Nightly Cares. Consort Music and Songs. Performed by Fretwork (Wendy Gillespie; Richard Campbell; Julia Hodgson; William Hunt; Richard Boothby) with Christopher Wilson, lute, Michael Chance, countertenor [CD1] and Elizabeth Liddle, viol [CD2]. Recorded at the Maltings, Snape, Suffolk (England) in December 1987 (CD1) and April 1989 (CD2). Total time: CD1 74'57"; CD2 61'25". Originally released on single CDs in 1989 and 1990. Re-issued as a 2-CD box in 1999 as Virgin Veritas 7243 5 61561 2 8.

The reigns of Elizabeth I. (1558 - 1603) and of James I. (1603 - 1620) of England produced the grand climax of English culture. The literary side of this is well-known (Spencer, Sidney, Marlowe, Shakespeare, Jonson, Webster, Beaumont and Fletcher, Donne, the earlier Metaphysical poets). The musical aspects, on the other hand, have only recently been made available to a wider public by exponents of the early music movement. Anthony Rooley, Emma Kirkby and the Consort of Musicke performed madrigals and lute songs of the period for Decca; and Fretwork set themselves the task of recording "viol consorts" from the same decades. The viol has nothing to do with the violin or viola; it is the "viola da gamba", a nasal sounding string instrument that in Renaissance times was manufactured in several different sizes and often played "in consort", i. e. by a group of five to six musicians with a "family" of different-sized viols. Although the nasal quality of the sound lends itself to melancholy, many of the pieces played here are, in fact, dances, only John Dowland's "Lachrimae" ("Tears") and his "signature tune" "Semper Dowland, semper dolens" being really deliberately melancholy. Byrd's "In Nomines" are based on the plain-chant tradition, apparently going back to a popular melody from one of John Taverner's masses. The Consort Songs are similar to lute songs of the period but accompanied by viols.

The performances sound just as riveting today as they presumably did when these CDs first appeared around 17 years ago. The viol playing by Fretwork is absolutely spot-on, with Christopher Wilson's lute underlay providing a perfect contrast. On CD1, there are six songs performed by Michael Chance, a superb countertenor. What a pity that the sung texts are not printed in the very thin booklet! This is fascinating music that deserves more than a peremptory hearing.

As a footnote I should perhaps add that Dowland's Lachrimae and the attached dances have also been recorded on a consort of renaissance violins by the Parley of Instruments Renaissance Violin Consort, led by Peter Holman (on Hyperion). This disc is equally to be recommended, and I am glad to have both versions of this meditative but moving music.

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-11-20

Firstly, the buyer should know that this 2 CD album is a combination of almost the same song material that is included on the single CD album 'Goe Nightly Cares' and 'Music for Viols'. Also the above list is not totally accurate as to the songs that Michael 'Chance sings; so here they are: by Wm Byrd: 'If women could be fair'-'Lullaby, my sweet little baby'-'Ah silly soul'-'Ye sacred muses'-and 'Come to me, grief forever'; and by Dowland:'Goe Nightly cares, the enemy to rest' and 'Lasso vita mia'. It is really an excellent group of songs sung by Chance (countertenor)with his usual perfection. I maintain that no one sings this type of song as well as he does. Christopher Wilson very ably accompanies Chance on the lute and Paul Nicholson on the organ. Fretwork is an excellent groups and their performance includes the music of Wm. Byrd-Elway Bevin-Orlando Gibbons-John Dowland-Wm. Lawes and Anthony Holborne.

Sweet and Melancholy.......2000-01-25

This is a splendid collection of definitive quality performances by two of the greatest Elizabethan masters. The music is rich and moving, though the faint of heart should be advised that the selections are unremittingly melancholy. I find this an attraction. Nevertheless, it isn't an ideal choice for light classical music, nor as atmospheric background for a rollicking Elizabethan theme party .Neither is it ideal for relaxation--it demands too much attention. Highly recommended for contemplative listeners.

Penetrating music and fine performances.......2000-01-14

I was only somewhat familiar with this genre of music, but when a friend gave me this disc, I became very entranced with it. This music has a folk, Hausmusik feel, but with such masterly compositional effecs throughout all the pieces. Particularly fine is track 6 on the first disc, which reminds me of Barber's Adagio for Strings. Another lovely touch is the ensemble's subtle descending scale at cadences. Simply haunting, and most highly recommended.

Nice 2-for-1 collection of consort music........1999-06-30

The first CD, recorded in 1989, features Michael Chance on six tracks (no texts included), the second CD, recorded in 1987, is solely viol music.

Customer Reviews:

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-10-29

John Dowland is valued today as the first English composer of solo songs, mostly because no one in England has exceeded his output; he may have been equalled by Purcell. However, his distinctive blend of poem, melody and harmony remains unsurpassed. In addition, by underplaying the role of the voice, the listener's attention is directed to the poem. This de-emphasis of the voice was favoured by Elizabethans who relished the new-minted language of Shakepeare's contemporaries. Dowland has his brighter side, but his music is preponderantly melancholy. "Lachrimae" became his signature tune. The accompanying group 'The Consort of Six' was a peculiarly English invention of the 1580's. Six different instruments-treble and bass viols, flute, lute, cittern and bandora; it was in fact the first orchestra. The titles of the instrumental pieces give us some idea of the wide range of society in which Dowland moved; very "upper class". John Dowland was typical of composers of that time in that he earned his living by playing, and he was very much sought after by both amateurs and professionals. Alfred Deller, the most legendary of countertenors issued the very essence of melancholy of the 17th century English songs. One has to mention that he was a primary influence in the development of the countertenor voice and as such was a performer who traveled all over the world showing to all that this voice was to be looked upon and accepted as an authentic and singular entity in itself, to which I totally agree. Therefore, he paved the way for an entire generation of singers such as James Bowman, Michael Chance, David Daniels, Gerard Lesne and Phillipe Jarousky to name only a few. This recording is a landmark in music; the singing is skilled; the accompaniment superb and the song selection significant.

A marvelous interpretation!.......2005-07-05

This is a superb CD set. Deller is amazing and the Lute Songs have deep feelings, that send us to immemorial ages... If you love old sacred music you must have this Set.

Deller forever!.......1999-09-27

The Deller Consort has long been a favorite among lovers of Medieval, Renaissance, and Restoration vocal music, and when it comes to Elizabethan music, no name is more prominent than that of John Dowland, whose "Airs & Partsongs" are now available under the title of Awake Sweet Love [bold] on Vanguard Classics OVC 8112. Here are superlative renditions of 15 tracks of Dowland's vocal output (with a galliard thrown in: you saw two of them danced in the recent film "Elizabeth") sung by the Deller Consort and Alfred Deller himself as soloist. This is not the bawdy, backstreet songs featured on some other recordings but the heightened "art" songs demanded by the court and by the noble houses of the time. The very titles say it all" "Wilt though, unkind, thus leave m?" "In darkness let me dwell," "Flow my tears," and so on. Beautiful as music, fascinating as a look into the past.

This is reissue of the first Broadway revival of "A Connecticut Yankee" starring Vivienne Segal and Vera-ellen (is her only major Broadway role). The cd is pretty good. Segal's performance is, as always, charming . I love "To keep My Love Alive" and i think that her performance is the best!. The CD also include addition songs by famous artist such ad Milton Berle and Bing Crosby, and a very rare song "The Bombardier Song " written for the army during the WW2

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-05-05

Fretwork recorded this album with Michael Chance in April of 1989. This is really one of their best albums as to song selection and the time allocated to Chance, which in subsequent albums they tend to minimize. And that's not a good idea because although the string music is quite enjoyable one needs to hear a different tonality every now and then. The songs sung by Chance are absolute "gems" and he sings them with the greatest artistry and finesse!! There is no singer of lute songs today that can match his renditions. The 6 songs are: "If Women Could Be Fair"-"Lasso Vita mia, mi fa morire"-"Lullaby,my sweet little baby","Goe nightly cares,the enemy to rest"-"Ah Silly Soul" and "Ye Sacred Muses". Fretwork performs"Dances from 'Lachrimae" by John Dowland and Consort Music and songs by William Byrd. Fretwork and Chance are powerfully good musicians and work as one!!!!!!!Incidentally the album following this one :Dowland and Byrd songs includes this exact CD as their CD one. The second disc is just Fretwork.

Truncated.......2007-02-19

I have only one objection to this album. She sings only 2 choruses of "To Keep My Love Alive" while the orchestra keeps playing the music over and over. A lyric like that, and they play just the music! There was plenty of time to put the whole lyric in. "If I Were You" (an imitated idea, most notably to my mind by Adams & Strouse in "All American") is a knock-out, and on this one she sings both verses (there is only one chorus). Highly recommended (if you can find it) anyway. "To Keep..." can be heard in it's entirety on other recordings, like on the revival cast recording of "Connecticut Yankee" by Vivienne Segal (on 2 releases!). Now if someone would just record the complete lyrics of "Mt. Greenery" and "Manhattan" - for a change!

a hidden classic.......2006-10-07

Von Stade is in very fine voice on this CD, and her rendition of "My Funny Valentine" is one of the best ever, with a rich, expressive delivery. Her voice has sometimes been considered too operatic for pop material but on this she's just right. Other standouts are "Moon Of My Delight" and the playful "To Keep My Love Alive" but the whole album is solid.

Wonderful record.......2002-11-11

A wonderful record !! Mrs. Von Stade's voice is perfect. I also raccomend this recond because all the arrengments are recreations from the original shows.

exquisite album.......2000-11-10

Contained in this CD are some of the most beautiful versions of the great timeless songs of Rogers and Hart. Coductor John McGlinn's orchestrations are flawless, as are Frederica's vocals. My favorites are 'I Didn't Know What Time It Was', 'My Funny Valentine', 'Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered', 'Atlantic Blues' and 'A Ship Without a Sail'. Every song is well done and everyone I have turned on to this album loves it.
