The lutenist complements this beautiful quartet of voices so well.

One of the most beautiful pieces I have ever heard. Mr Dowland was an exceptional composer, and he was at the height of his powers when he wrote this; and the performance is exquisite.

Master musicians.
1597 still relevant to today

Imagine the house parties when this was released. Just hearing choruses of people singing such music, with friends and family accompanying on instrumentation. Fantastic.

I came on this by chance. Timeless joy.

La plus belle interprétation de Now, O Now que je connaisse!

This music is so comforting and beautiful. It puts me into a bery meditative place.

After milling through hard rock with heavy metal. I have found treasure. And tears bring out heavenly

Meraviglioso! Non mi stanco mai di ascoltarli e di guardarli. Simply wonderful!!

Oh il liuto! Che strumento divino: raccoglie la dolcezza, la malinconia, la nostalgia, l’amore e le passioni disseminati nei secoli e ce li restituisce intatti, purificati dalle scorie del tempo… 🔥🎵🎶

So much beauty. Are not love and music the ultimate truth about human life?
