Dowland did for lute music what Haydn did for the string quartet and Beethoven the piano sonata. The finest lutenist and songwriter of his age--he composed several of the greatest hits of the late 16th and early 17th centuries--the surviving lute works constitute a sort of encyclopedia of the possibilities of the instrument. There are song arrangements, dance pieces, tributes to the composer's friends, even a musical self-portrait. Much of the music is fashionably sad. Lute songs generally deal with the agony of lost love, and Dowland's most popular tune was called Lachrimae (Tears). Paul O'Dette is simply the best lutenist alive. These five discs are available together at a special price, or separately. A reference edition. --David HurwitzCustomer Reviews:

This 11-CD set, one might say jokingly, contains all the music ever written for the soprano voice and a bit for mezzo as well. And indeed, it's a staggering collection: In addition to her great Verdi heroines (the two Leonoras, Aida, Amelia, and Elvira in Ernani), Price is heard in her Puccini roles--Manon Lescaut, Butterfly, Tosca--and at least two dozen other roles, most of which she never sang on stage. Here are her heroic, secure Leonore in Fidelio, Strauss's high-flying Egyptian Helen, Purcell's Dido, Barber's Cleopatra, Bellini's Norma, Ariadne, Verdi's Violetta and Desdemona, Bizet's Carmen, Mozart's Countess, and Fiordiligi. Some are, naturally, more successful than others; almost none are embarrassing (Carmen comes close). In addition, she sings songs by Schubert, Schumann, and Strauss--none of them as well as say, Janet Baker or Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, and Barber's Knoxville, etc.--quite beautifully. Berlioz's Les Nuits d'été is not very good, but a group of spirituals is. In all, however, this is an amazing display by one of the century's greatest sopranos. There may be no new depths plumbed here, but the singing is a knockout. --Robert LevineCustomer Reviews:

Outstanding and varied period Haydn.......2004-04-24
Haydn Hitting on All Six.......2001-11-21
The least of the works on this ASV disk is "The Battle of the Nile," an occasional recitative and aria based on a poem written by Lord Nelson's lover to commemorate his triumph over the French fleet on the Nile, which doomed Napoleon's Egyptian campaign. Despite the negligible quality of the verse, the piece shows Haydn's superb skill as a tone painter. And it features Haydn's characteristic dry humor in the somewhat overboard drama the composer imparts and that the performers capture well.
The two trios, which the very good notes to the recording explain are actually augmented keyboard sonatas, are nicely contrasted, one in the minor key and the other in the major. The A minor trio is music in Haydn's Emfindsamkeit style--brooding, yearning, emotionally charged. The A major trio, on the other hand, is all smiles and energy. Both trios have marvelously impetuous finales that make for great listener satisfaction.
Then there are the "Two Italian Duets" and "The Spirit's Song." The former is a lovely pair of love songs that, if they happened to bear the sainted name of Mozart, would be at the center of the duet repertoire. The later shows Haydn in a Gothic mood, capturing the spookiness of England's latest literary crazy, thanks to Horace Walpole et al. Again, this is fun.
Finally, the keyboard "Andante with Variations," an acknowledged masterwork though not heard much today. The mood is that of the A minor trio: very stern and serious stuff for Haydn, very commanding as well.
The performances on period instruments were obviously very carefully considered so that balances would be just right. The result, in the trios at least, is of hearing this music for the first time. Although I love the classic Beaux Arts treatment of the trios on Philips, the ASV recording shows how this music should sound, the fortepiano clearly a much more equal partner as should be the case. The vocal soloists blend very well and deliver their solo numbers with aplumb. And fortepianist Andrew Appel brings great feeling to the serious keyboard music, great dash to the bracing fast music. If you love Haydn, get this disc. If you don't, here's a great way to start.

Several Short Familiar Pieces for Kids.......2003-10-03
Complaint: The discs are practically not labeled! One must look at the case to see the song numbers and names. Worse, the discs have "disc one," "disc two," and "disc three" printed on them, but the cases don't say which is which, piano, flute, or strings! I'm going to write "piano," "violin and cello," and "flute" on each disc with a paint pen, or write 1,2,3 on the cases.
