Songs from Dowland

[@monumentofwonders]

Such beautiful, such confident performances. These two young men are masters of their art.

[@peterblanchette967]

Absolutely excellent performances of these pieces. Fisk plays so rhythmically and lightly, still with color - the reason one can make a beautiful case for this music performed on the guitar. The lightness is so supportive for the intimacy of the excellent singer, who can still be in his pure voice. Bravissimo.

Splendid. The fieriest rendering of Can She Excuse My Wrongs I ever heard!

[@Gubancosful]

Presentazione eccelente! Grazie.

[@emmagutierrez1408]

Beautiful! Thank you for such vivid singing and playing!

"If music be the food of love, play on; Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die. That strain again! it had a dying fall: O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet south, That breathes upon a bank of violets," I'm sure Shakespeare knew Dowland's music.

Excellent stuff! And what a great audience, too!

[@ralfhack3183]

Prof in Höchstform thanks Elie

[@kathycahill1698]

Lovely, both performers!

[@jeffpierce297]

Wow this is stunning music...both performers are absolutely incredible...the talent and dedication it takes to play at this level is without comparison. Just once I would like to hear this music in the common arena instead of mindless caterwauling and angry foul mouthed punks.

Does anyone know the guitar used? It even sounds like a Lute. Very Enjoyable! Thanks

[@gilbertwalker3222]

i think Fisk sounds great here.

[@belablackrose2967]

Eliot Fisk!

[@declanhickey7057]

Anyone know which edition they are using?

[@artjomjuferov1280]

Why are there so many dislikes?

[@PetrieRobert]

They're from jealous singers.

[@elvancor]

This is music of a singer/songwriter lutenist, performed not by a singing lutenist, but by a classical guitarist and a classical singer. If someone isn't particularly fond of classical style singing, that's reason enough to dislike.

[@kathycahill1698]

@@elvancor Seems rather petty given the quality of this performance.

[@danielgenton7548]

très belle prestation. Sans Luth, ni contre tenor...Simple et beau.

[@emelpuck5437]

J'adore le commentaire !!! Un problème avec les luthistes et les contre-tenir, peut-être ? ;-)

[@olivierriviere7527]

Very nice singing and playing. However, i feel this music sounds so much better with a luth.

[@huubvosmeijer7453]

Fantastic Singer, unfortunatly Eliot Fisk makes too much mistakes.

[@lucarinaldovillani63]

I do not hear mistakes, just his personal style, many notes and have fun...good no ?

[@gilbertwalker3222]

His phrasing is actually pretty great here and I normally don't like Fisk. His turn his really rounded warm yet precise and clear. Nothing to really dislike really.

[@olivierriviere7527]

Can you excuse Fisk's wrongs?

Gay renditions

[@janach1305]

Dowland is better known for melancholy than for gaiety. This singer is rendering the sad songs in a properly sorrowful manner, and only the happy songs are given gay renditions. The word "gay" keeps its original meaning, despite the new meanings it has gained over the past century. Since none of these songs refers explicitly to homosexuality, and the performance is in no way "weak," the original meaning of "happy" must be assumed.

[@tientje98]

@@janach1305 I'm afraid he's referring to the modern definition

[@Alla_Vox]

Wonderfull!!
