Synopsis

Amazon.com

No one in Elizabethan England could write a tune like Dowland. This supreme melodist and lute player composed some of the most beloved and enduring songs of any age, and today Dowland remains one of the most exalted--and most recorded--composers of the late-16th and early 17th centuries. His songs with lute are among the finest and most harmonically innovative of the genre. Their subject is often some aspect of love, most likely focusing on sadness, longing, or death. The "First Book of Songs" is the least melancholy of his collections, and contains some of his most famous songs--such as "Now, O Now I Needs Must Part," "Come Again: Sweet Love Doth Now Invite," and "Come Away, Come Sweet Love." Rogers Covey-Crump's gentle, articulate, and gorgeous tenor is the perfect voice for these pieces, and lutenist Jakob Lindberg is an ideal partner. --David Vernier

"
Rogers Covey-Crump, most well known for the singing the part of the Evangelist in Bach's St. Matthew Passion, and as one of the founding members of the Hilliard Ensemble, has crafted a triumph in this CD of the songs of John Dowland.

Covey-Crump's skill in tuning, clear diction, and pleasantness of tone over all registers makes his interpretation a true joy to listen to, and on this disc he is ably supported by lutenist Jakob Lindberg.

My only complaint with this album is that on some of the tracks, such as "Burst Forth, My Teares", Covey-Crump sings in a lower key than might be appropriate for a tenor with such excellent control in the upper register.

Key tracks:

7. His Golden Locks Time Has To Silver Turnd. A triumph in phrasing, dynamics and diction.

13. Now, O Now I Needs Must Part. An incredible rendition, with almost every note breathtakingly in tune.
