John Dowland: Lachrimae for Viol Consort | Phantasm · MarchVivo

[@kelvinsmallwood6315]

Great performance & wonderful music. I notice in a lot of videos that the Lute has become so prominent as it isn't always played except in small groups 7 depending on the period of the music..

[@bandicoot5412]

Glad these artists and instruments are becoming more prominent, grateful appreciation!

50 years ago I played Dowland (Jane Pickering book) on the guitar. Lutes were nonexistent but once you heard Dowland, Batchelar, Cutting, et al on a lute, the guitar sounded thin and unsubstantial...so I focused on Giuliani.

[@PhilBaum-qj4gi]

Same age as Shakespeare and the two gained fame contemporaneously. This is Dowland at his best.

Brilliant and thank you! Love the way the lutenist has decorated cadences ornaments and little fill-ins, and the amazing part adds impetus to all pieces … you cd. compile a little history of Jacobethan England from the dedicatees

[@WilliamFord972]

I love viol consorts and I love John Dowland’s music!

Phantasm was based at the University of Oxford from 2005 when they were appointed Consort-in-Residence. In Autumn 2010, they began a new association as Consort-in-Residence at Magdalen College, where they performed, recorded, and collaborated with the acclaimed College Choir. Phantasm have also making regular appearances for several seasons at the Wigmore Hall, appearing a total of three times during the 2017/2018 season. In 2015, Phantasm moved its base of operations to Berlin, Germany, where director Laurence Dreyfus plans the consort's activities and pursues his own independent research in musicology, performance studies, and music analysis.

So brilliant was its concert that we will have no other option but inviting them again at the Fundación Juan March. No choice!

Very nice and soothing medical imbalance:)

I think this is "flow my tears" - a great favourite of mine..

[@irvincemilschick3484]

Perfection.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

As always from MarchVivo interesting music! This Viol Ensemble is super.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

And evidently melancholia has existed for a long time in our civilization.

[@marcsmith5275]

Thus there are notions such as bittersweet, sadder but wiser, and so on? @@staffanolofsson8201

[@DanielMessiasSantos-gy8bk]

Your work is excepitional, I realized it demands a lot of time, isn' it?... Beautiful!

[@marchvivo]

Music-making at this very high level is always demanding, but you also need talent and a original performing conception.

[@DanielMessiasSantos-gy8bk]

Gratulation!

[@lostados2795]

Very, very nice. Thanks for posting!

[@marchvivo]

More early music is coming soon on this channel (but not only that). In the meantime you may want to have a look at more Dowland music: a video by Davies & Dunford

[@sergiodanielvilar]

Beautiful

[@sdorr]

Thank goodness that such beautiful remnants of Western art-music survive! These musicians are blessed! But please don't DSM5-characterize it as an "emotional imbalance! The equation is more complicated, and there is also sweetness and light and more! It's part of what makes us human.

Delightful!!!!!!!!!
