5 out of 5 stars A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

5 out of 5 stars a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

5 out of 5 stars Marvellous!!A delicious recording!!!.......2004-10-01

O`Dette! The lutanist that would become popular in Dowlands time! he seems to me like a Leonhardt on lute.I find the lute no less expressive and enchanting than harpsichord or piano when I listen to Mr O`Dette

5 out of 5 stars Rock guitarist turned lutanist.......2002-08-05

I listen to this album over and over and never get tired of it. O'Dette's interpretations keep sounding fresh and alive, perhaps because of his rock background. This was the popular music of the time and he plays it that way. There's no dusty mustiness of age hanging over it.

The compilation of different albums is great; different instrument combinations and vocal pieces interspersed. I highly recommend it.

Album Description

Redhead with a voice. Boy, can this girl sing. Afer a whole life of singing the hell out of other people tunes, Katie Thompson brings her pipes to an album of original songs. She throws down blues-pop for Birthday, breaks your heart in "Do You" and soars through to "The Arms of Your Hope". She loves music. Music loves her. You can hear it in every track.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Simply put... PHENOMENAL!.......2005-05-03

Katie Thompson, having just played live at the Key Club in Hollywood, wowed a packed crowd!

As often happens with singers new on the 'scene', there is often an attempt to identify them with other main stream artists; this is impossible to do with Katie. This songstress carves out her own unique niche audibly and visually with a combination of verve and passion that captivates her listeners.
Katie's lyrics take previously unidentified moments and turn them into provoking tales of passion and truth. She really does hit all the right chords of the human experience.

Songs on "What I've Done Right" which especially echo the elation of experience include 1.Birthday, 2. Something hopeful, 3.Do You, 4.Stay, 5.Tough, 6.Why aren't you holding me now, 7.Low, 8. Nice Guy, 9. What I've done Right, & 10. The Arms of Your Hope ...YES, the whole album!
Enjoy.

This bargain collection of showtunes is highlighted by the composition of Kurt Weill and the uniquely rolling tongue of Colette Lyons. I have a complaint about this compilation. It includes "Ol' Man River", but it excludes Al Jolson's rendition of "Ol' Man River." Otherwise, this collection gives you ample bang for your buck.

5 out of 5 stars This sumptuous sorrow, this sweet rapture of song..........2005-11-10

This recording dates from 1998, and the question I ask myself is... why did it appear in my favourite record shop only recently? And why was I not previously aware of this recording?

I'd heard Daniel Taylor first (or at least consciously noted his name) in the recording of Handel's Rinaldo, and thought at the time what an astonishing beautiful and sensitive sound he produced. I began a hunt for any recordings of his, and was unutterably delighted when, because I pestered the aforesaid music shop, a lot of ATMA Classique recordings appeared. (I seem to have answered my own question - the CDs appeared because I confessed to an absolute longing for anything sung by this counter-tenor!)

The recordings on the ATMA label include several with Suzie Le Blanc, another favourite of mine - and I was prompt to grab as many of the recordings as I could see.

This CD, "Tears of the Muse" consists of some of the most ravishingly exquisite songs by Dowland ever composed - and certainly Daniel Taylor's performance of them is the perfect blend of the intellectual and the emotional. Singing Elizabethan music is a little tricky for some in that a) yes, it must be sung in the appropriate style - a voice approaching Dowland in the same manner as Verdi is going to miss the mark by a mile; b) no, a straight and entirely vibrato-less sound which has as its only objective a dead-set on "Target Choir-Boy Timbre" is NOT the ideal here; c) yes, the songs need to be ornamented (ornamentation in music of this period includes sighs, breaths in the voice, the sound of tears, not just gruppi or other such ornamentations); d) no, swooping around like Renee Fleming is not good ornamentation or even good expressiveness.

Daniel Taylor not only knows this - he is an expert exponent. He sings with his heart and soul, not just his vocal folds. His vocal instrument is very beautiful, but without the intelligence he clearly possesses to control that voice, he would not be the singer he is. And beyond mere intelligence lies the ability to capture the listener/audience - many an intelligent singer with a perfectly nice-sounding voice will simply never enravish his/her audience because to do so is a gift that is both the product of hard work and a God-given talent.

Daniel Taylor has that gift.

I have listened to this CD and to other of his recordings several times, and I shall continue to enjoy them with deep pleasure. The detail, the overall delicacy combined with heart-melting beauty, the whole and sublime work evident in this... I am simply unable to listen to this recording without weeping with that happiness that is so close to sorrow that it almost cuts into one with pleasure.

This is a recording for everyone who loves early music, and if you've never heard early music, this is a perfect CD as your introduction to how it's done.

5 out of 5 stars A beauty to stop you in your tracks.......2000-05-04

I got this CD as a gift from Dan Taylor himself and he would be happy to know that it has become one of the most cherished CD's in my vast collection. As much as I enjoyed Paul Agnew's wonderful recordings of English lute songs, Taylor's raw sincerity and subdued eloquence in the rendition of these songs probably surpass even Agnew's silken polish. The title line for my review comes from Gramophone, I just couldn't resist borrowing it because it is so apt! Most of the songs on this disc (in fact, all but one) are plaintive and sentimental. The choice is fitting because the pure fluid tone of Taylor's voice seems ideally suited to slow melodic lines such as these. I find Taylor's voice to be absolutely remarkable. To my ears, it combines the platinum radiance of David Cordier with the velvety opulence of Michael Chance - a rare combination indeed. As if the beautiful voice was not enough to spark interest, Taylor's singing here is also technically secure and lyrically expressive, ever so lightly adorned with tasteful ornaments. The emphases are all the more potent because they are sparsely used. For example, the second repetition of "Learn to condemn light" in Flow my tears is startling in its sudden roughness... I will never be able to listen to this song again in anybody's performance without expecting them to repeat that same modulation. To me at least, this is how these songs should be sung. gkolomietz@yahoo.com

5 out of 5 stars "Best Classical Album of the Year" Gala de l'ADISQ 1998.......1998-11-04

This outstanding production has just won the "Best Classical Album Of The Year" Award (Félix) at the Gala de l'ADISQ 1998 - the equivalent of a Grammy in the USA. Counter tenor Daniel Taylor, Les Voix Humaines (viola da gamba duo) and Andreas Martin on lute give a unique rendition of Dowland's songs. You can't go wrong and even more, you'll want to get Daniel Taylor's first recording on the ATMA label, Purcell's "On The Muse's Isle" unanimously praised by critics in Canada, the USA and in the UK, as well as every other recordings he will make...

      It's a shame that this band broke up in 2002. The majority of the songs turn into slow to mid-paced hardcore, but they have many outbursts of furious speed, with wizardry guitar work, and mathcore drumming. Some mellow songs on this disc, with very well written acoustic guitar work. Lyrics have to do with heartbreak, and thinking of better days. For someone who likes to hear thrashy, fast scales, with hardcore breakdowns. Highly recommended.

      1 out of 5 stars Pure trash.......2003-11-24

      DON'T listen to this crap, get As I Lay Dying, real talent there.

      5 out of 5 stars just... perfect.......2003-10-26

      If you can find a single thing wrong with this cd, please let me know. Because i cant. Perfect in every way, the pure talent, the emotion put forth into it and being felt from it, and damn they can outplay just about anyone. The guitarist's pour out every feeling they have into their playing, and they are unbeatable, rivaling the Dillinger Escape Plan in pure ferocity. The drummer, is mind-blowing, if he even is a human lifeform. There is a certain chaos they bring that i have never heard any band match. Complex composition and time-bending signatures are sewn through-out blast beat sequences and abstract jazzy metal riffs. The lyrics are sincere and passionate though heartbroken, none of this fake forced poetic-ness thrown about in trendy metalcore these days. You wont be seeing them since they are no more, but cherish them by buying this cd.

      5 out of 5 stars Beauty in Chaos.......2002-12-30

      The first twenty seconds of this album represent one of the most intense sections of hardcore music I have ever listened to. After analyzing this piece several times over I have determined the existence of a frantic tapping solo, slaughtering double bass percussion, and vocals that could paralyze a person's senses. The first track alone harbors what I consider to be truly original song structure and guitar performance. The rest of the album follows up with matching intensity. Every song introduces a different attitude and tone to stories of love and pain. Most importantly, Eyes Upon Separation yields complex drum patterns and jazzy guitar riffs that will keep most heavy metal head bangers guessing and wondering what to expect next. The combination of nearly psychotic tempo shifts and breakdowns would have to be a valuable trademark quality of hardcore music, and Eyes Upon Separation clearly does not miss a beat. In my opinion, anyone who enjoyed "Calculating Infinity" by The Dillinger Escape Plan will find "I Hope She's Having Nightmares" to be equally entertaining. Be sure to check out the music from this former Pennsylvania quintet as soon as possible.

      5 out of 5 stars american art song.......2000-12-30

      This recording is an accesible, refreshingly lyrical collection of 20th century American songs written by Otto Luening. Luening set the poetry of Oscar Wilde, Emily Dickinson, and James Joyce and others in a beautifully vivid and straightforward style. The literature itself is rich and enduring, and Luenning's style is sensitively efficient and illustrative. Ms. Bettina brings a wonderfully clear and graceful musicality in her offering of these works. Mr. Goldsworthy brings a masterful sensitivity to the accompaniment.

      5 out of 5 stars american song.......2000-12-30

      This is a very lyrical, refreshingly accessible collection of 20th century American songs by Otto Luenning. The literature by Emily Dickinson, Oscar Wilde and James Joyce ( to name only a few), that Luenning chose to set is rich and wonderful in itself. Luenning has provided each with direct, clear and sensitive composition. Ms. Bettina gives a graceful rendering of these songs and shows artistry in each piece. Mr. Goldsworthy is first rate pianist who displays great sensitivity and clarity.
