A collection of tranquil lute music portrayed with the soft sounds of ancient instruments.
A collection of John Dowland's works performed by the Schola Canturm Basilica Ensemble. The soft tones of the viola da gamba and lute are captivating.
The rich bass of the vibrato and the delicate lute intertwine exquisitely, carefully portraying Dowland's melancholic melody. The tempo is gentle, and the sounds of each instrument blend naturally into the space. The recording is designed to take advantage of reverberation, allowing the sound to linger beautifully. This is a masterpiece of early music performance, where religious serenity intertwines with human emotion.
