Description
This album links the contemporary world with the Tudor England of 400 years ago. The English composer David Gorton (b. 1978) has gone back to the music of John Dowland and rethought it in contemporary terms. He has written an extended set of variations for string ensemble on Dowland’s massive hit Lachrymae and another on Dowland’s Forlorn Hope for 11-string guitar, where the titles of some of the variations poke fun at British politicians. Composers all over Europe made their own versions of Lachrymae, and this album proves that Dowland’s fascination endures.
