Reviewer:
Alexandra Coghlan The dances themselves often tend towards the earnest, both in pacing and weight, diminishing the contrasts that should animate a composer for whom ‘Semper Dowland, semper dolens’ is surely more knowing joke than straight-faced truth. The Lachrimae themselves are more varied. The group’s blend is soft-woven and wonderfully fibrous, full of textural interest. Extensive ornamentation throughout the disc and a rhetorical approach to line give the music a pleasing, madrigal-like freedom, and bright flickers of North’s lute catch the ear among so many musical shadows. But phrasing that surges and tugs a little too forcibly keeps this otherwise appealing account from rivalling the best already available. |
