Thomas Dunford
The Rarest Musician
John Dowland was recognised as one of the greatest lute players of his age, and although he published few in his lifetime, his legacy of compositions for the instrument runs to more than 90 pieces, ranging from short dances and catchy song-tunes to longer works of profound and complex emotion that lie at the core of the instrument’s repertory today.
The “True Eric Clapton of the lute”, Thomas Dunford, presents a selection that includes the well-known Flow my teares, Can she excuse my wrongs and the extraordinary self-portrait Semper Dowland semper dolens.
