On Friday 14 April 2023 we finished the recording session of The First Booke of Songs of John Dowland (1597) in the Sendesaal Bremen. It was an inspiring time with our sound engineer Michael Havenstein.
We composed seven songs inspired by the lute songs of John Dowland, to the poems of John Donne, William Shakespeare and Anonymous. You are welcome to listen to the raw and uncut demos.
Special thanks to Heinz Müller, Ranjit Prasad and David Leeuwarden.
This project was made possible by Deutscher Musikrat Funding
