Soprano Nola Richardson and Lutenist John Armato perform one of Dowland's beautiful lute songs.

[@ellenmouzinho]

Come again Sweet love doth now invite Thy graces that refrain To do me due delight To see, to hear To touch, to kiss To die with thee again In sweetest sympathy Come again That I may cease to mourn Through thy unkind disdain For now left and forlorn I sit, I sigh I weep, I faint I die, in deadly pain And endless misery Gentle love Draw forth thy wounding dart Thou canst not pierce her heart; For I that do approve By sighs an d tears More hot than are Thy shafts, did tempt while she For scanty tryumphs laughs

I searched the web now for hours to find a good version of this song I love so much and had long forgotten. Every version was either too much of something or not enough. No one could quite get it right. But THIS is it. Thank you both for this wonderful recording. Your voice is so flexible and dynamic, the lute so tight and fine and it all is so perfectly together. The text so well interpreted and truly felt. Love it.

Non verum. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lavQdqx8fN2lq6M&t is the best on youtube.

[@paulmarshall3951]

​@@felang-9363 I do acknowledge that my words above seem to claim some objective truth where really they are nothing but an expression of real appreciation and my experience at that moment.. I also really liked the version you linked here. Had never heard of Russel Oberlin. Thanks :-)

[@felang-9363]

@@paulmarshall3951 That channel is loaded. Hats off to KZbin algorithm who found that version for me.

[@jantonisito]

Kathleen Battle and Chris Parkening recorded good version - but this one is quite amazing too. Especially for "bedroom" recording.

[@ddbogosian]

Loved the intimate setting, very much in keeping with the original domestic context in which these songs were meant to be heard. Would love to see/hear more of these!

[@fiandrhi]

Your voice is perfect for this repertoire.

[@dtk404]

You do this beautifully. A song that cries out to be "acted" instead of simply sung. You make me feel the words.

[@arguspanoptes9510]

All of youtube could not suffice to explain that voice and the beauty of it

[@arguspanoptes9510]

Brilliant. Who needs a grand setting when you have the gentle power of such a gorgeous voice from a lovely singer, and the great lute playing to boot in a simple living room of a house somewhere in the world ? Fantastic. More please

[@vanu49]

Beautiful and I love the smile at the end. May I say that? Yes, I think so. Thank you!!

[@MrSpacepack]

great voice and perfect diction.

[@CeciliaSaraiva]

Simply gorgeous! I'm studying this and found this amazing performance! Perfect! Thanks a lot, my heart is full of joy listening to you.

[@theresiagerdes6611]

[@JohnMistyWoods]

Come again... to Davis! So sorry that the crisis interrupted the ABS performance schedule this year (2020-- just for future unborn chillens). I hope you are safe, healthy, and come back on tour soon.

[@crismetal10]

Beautiful voice, performance and great player! You ought to release a CD together with all these music jewels

[@williamdeng1870]

Nola Richardson is a talented classical soprano with a beautiful voice and a thorough knowledge of the musical styles of the classical period. Her voice, her temperament and her beauty make her have full potential to play the favorite singer of those great composers in movies and TV series about Hayden, Mozart or Beethoven.

[@niklandry3554]
