O Sweet Love: Songs by Dowland & Byrd

Editorial Reviews
From International Record Review - subscribe now
The consort song is among the most rewarding of Elizabethan musical genres. In it we experience the pleasure of listening to a voice as part of a broader musical texture, the singer blending into the polyphonic weave created by the four viol players. We also enjoy the medium itself as something wonderfully sturdy and flexible, 'apt', in the period meaning of the word, for court entertainments, church services or amateur home music-making. This was a form which the great Tudor and Jacobean composers such as Thomas Morley and Orlando Gibbons delighted to explore to its fullest, but the real virtuoso in the field was William Byrd in collections such as the Psalmes, Sonets and Songs of 1588. Byrd's gift for moulding and expanding a singable voice line 'framed', as he put it 'to the life of the words' is matched by the supple authority of his counterpoint, a learning which manages simultaneously to flatter the singer.In the case of the young Canadian countertenor Daniel Taylor it doesn't really need to. The programme on this disc presents a mixture of Byrd consort songs, Dowland lute songs and instrumental pieces by both composers played by lutenist Stephen Stubbs with Susie Napper and Margaret Little on violas da gamba. This collection is as good as any in introducing those unfamiliar with Elizabethan art music to its skilful fusion of contrapuntal techniques with folk melody, popular tunes and dance rhythms. It is hard to imagine a better demonstration of the ways in which a period style can come alive in hands gifted with a genuine sense of its expressive vitality and sophistication.Taylor's voice – colourful, potent and keenly focused – is an ideal advocate for these pieces. In the disc's more sombre moments, such as the great Byrd laments for Thomas Tallis and Sir Philip Sidney, the singer creates an appropriate rhetorical climax to these songs without ever losing sight of the inherent beauty in their ensemble structure. The Dowland numbers, on the other hand, are treated with a stunning vocal agility which allows each significant word of the text its due impact while sustaining suitable rhythmic crispness. Listen to Shall I strive or Come again and virtuosity of this kind almost makes you feel that you're catching the authentic tones of intimate erotic conversation from Shakespeare's age.Some listeners may quibble with the decision to divide the instrumental lines between a brace of gambas rather than allotting a player to each of the four parts. Les Voix Humaines, however, aren't called this for nothing, adept as they are in exploiting the quasi-vocal qualities – what one Jacobean poet memorably called 'the grumbling cat-lines' – of their instruments. There's a humorously galumphing account of The Carman's Whistle, while Tregian's Ground shows Byrd at his most absorbingly cerebral. As for Stephen Stubbs's lute, thank goodness for a player who, instead of apologetically picking and scratching in the background, makes us wake up and take notice. In the end, though, this is Daniel Taylor's show, a genuinely exciting engagement by a countertenor of obviously stellar radiance with music for whose subtler shadings he has an infallible grasp.Jonathan B.

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 Sweet Love hath climbed its mountain peak.......2006-05-11

There are some performers whose recordings are instantly slotted into the "must have" section of a collector's mind. The sweet-as-mead voice and high intelligence of Canadian countertenor Daniel Taylor make him one of these performers.

Daniel Taylor's voice is like a map that is elegantly and sensitively written, expressive and colourful, its lines and lineaments portraying to the highest degree the geography of music itself. This is no accident - it is an achievement which less intellectually gifted singers can rarely attain (and even then, only by following to the nth degree the careful and minute work of someone who DOES have this particular approach to the music). And when it is a unique interpretation, fresh every time and yet containing similar elements every time, the listener can but sigh with pleasure and bliss, thanking God in His kindness that He has given such a singer to grace the earth.

Dowland's and Byrd's songs are among my favourite in the entire oeuvre. I adore performing them; I adore listening to them. I do demand more when I listen than a pretty tone. Pretty tones are easily come by. I want... I want to hear the poetry of the words in the music. I want to hear each word given a pearl-like placing in the phrase. I want to hear the phrases caress like silk the very texture of the air.

This recording performs exactly that. It is deeply satisfying, very beautiful, and demonstrative of Daniel Taylor's most excellent technique. (I cannot fathom the criticism in one of the previous reviews, in which the reviewer complains of Mr Taylor's technique, speaking of flaws which I have not heard. Either I am peculiarly insensitive to these flaws, or - more likely, since I'm a critical (in the best sense of the word!) listener of music as well as being both a performer and teacher of singing - these flaws exist with as little validity as the oft-vaunted single-footed monsters drawn on Renaissance maps. In other words... they do not exist.)

Beautiful, beautiful singing. Very highly recommended indeed.

5 out of 5 stars O sweet disc.......2004-05-10

I feel that is a beautifully planned disc of stunning performances.

5 out of 5 stars Montreal Countertenor Shines.......2003-04-05

You have got to...
You need to...
You must...
You will never be the same after you...
FIND THIS DISC.

His performance of "Shall I strive with words to move" sums it
all up. TOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL.

5 out of 5 stars Loved this disc.......2003-04-02

What fortune to find this first-rate disc by a singer I was, until yesterday, unfamiliar with. I adored this program and especially the magical intertwining of Taylor's voice with the gambas. Dowland never sounded more sorrowful and Byrd never more
cared for. Do not walk......run and buy this disc.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Byrd.......2003-03-29

Here is a disc that must be included in any serious early-music
collector's library. Young Daniel Taylor's pure, angelic voice is sensitively supported by the gamba duo and Stephen Stubbs. Taylor's perfect intonation and thoughtful word-painting are a gift to us all.

3 out of 5 stars kinda fun.......2001-03-10

The last cut on this CD is worth the price of admission. Elsewhere the virginal and lute playing is nice and the soprano sounds authentic. The notes are useful. Personally I like vocals a bit ` softer' then this countertenor although that is sometimes deemed less `historically correct'.

          5 out of 5 stars Too beautiful for words.......2004-05-25

          If Julian Bream's recordings were letters, his would all be hand written rather than typed.

          5 out of 5 stars Guitar History.......2004-02-15

          Julian Bream not only plays the guitar, and the lute
          (although purists and I suspect Bream himself would say rather unconventionally), but most of all, Bream plays MUSIC. This is very, very important. There are many fine guitarists around today, but I doubt any could match Bream's sheer musicality when these recordings were made.
          This 28 CD box set is a lesson in music making, regardless of what instrument is being played. The recordings are the complete RCA Bream catalogue from 1959 to 1989. If you can find the complete box set or even any of the individual volumes, I suggest you make the purchase. (Shame on RCA and BMG for not keeping this box set and "all" the individual volumes in print.)
          Some of the higlights of Breams remarkable talent are his
          interpretations of Britten's "Nocturnal", Walton's "Five Bagatelles", the instrumental and vocal works (with tenor Peter Pears) of Dowland, the "first" complete guitar works of Villa-Lobos, a thorough history of the guitar in Spain from the Renaissance to the Present on period instruments, plus all the works that have become classical guitar standards by Bach, Sor, Giuliani, Albeniz, Rodrigo, plus the "new" standards by Brouwer, Arnold, Berkeley, Britten, Walton, etc.
          Music making of this caliber is rare indeed. Buy it if you can find it. Good Luck !

          5 out of 5 stars Best deal there is!.......2002-05-06

          If you can find this set buy it fast. There are not to many of these left out there. This has it all. Plus Julian Bream is the greatest guitarist of all time.

          5 out of 5 stars Most excellent.......2001-08-18

          This a an wonderful collection of Julian Bream. He is the master of master . I always admire his talent as a genius of this centure.

          5 out of 5 stars Julian Bream, The Genius.......1999-01-09

          Who don't want to have a wonderful classical guitar collection? Well, this pack consists in 28 CDs, more than 1.000 minutes of music, distribuited by different titles as Baroque Guitar, Spanish Guitar, etc. Some highlights are here, like Asturias, Fernando Sor variations on Mozart's Magic Flute, Paganini Grand Sonata, all Preludes and Etudes of Villa-Lobos, and, well, lots of really good things. Also, there are some cds Julian Bream plays Guitar with Orchestra, or with Harpsichords. Ah, he plays lute in some too. Unfortunately, there are 2 or 3 cds where a tenor sings and another which a woman says some poems, and those, in my opinion, are not very nice. So, it's a good collection, and if you can, buy it!!
