about

This CD is the second part of a trilogy of recordings comprising of music for solo lute by John Dowland interpreted by Mike Fentross. The first CD
(ZEF 9658) includes recently identified Dowland music based on the fascinating archival work of André Nieuwlaat.

With this second CD, Fentross returns to the nest, to his childhood image of what is generally considered music by Dowland. This invariably means embracing Diana Poulton’s Dowland world which culminates in her two principal publications, the biography John Dowland (1972) and his hundred solo lute pieces found in The Collected Lute Music of John Dowland: Lute tablature and keyboard notation (1974). The authenticity of some of these pieces in this bible for the lute can now be challenged, but the pieces chosen for this recording transcend an ascetic research topic. Fentross performs the pieces that mean the most to him from Poulton’s book and those that can delight todays public. The recording is a homage to this lady who dedicated her whole life to researching, publishing and playing Dowland. Fentross literally ‘interprets’ Poulton’s Dowland.
