How can such agony be so sweet?

Exquisite performance. The sweet Elizabethan melancholy of Dowland and the lutenists of the time is rendered perfectly.

I feel privileged to be able to witness this concert trough U-tube and I have watched it several times; thank you it is wonderfully beautifull and touching (a belgian citizen)

Quelle voix on ne se lasse pas de l' écouter

Cette femme chante comme un ange. C'est la perfection. Bravo.

透き通る声！とてもよい。もっと公開してください。

When I saw these wonderful videos sometime ago - I had to order their wonderful CD. It can be found on their homepage and I guess they destribute it them selves. Pure Joy!

I really like the way the singer and lutenist worked the acoustics of the hall they performed in- very hard to do, masterly done piece of musical art. Bravo....

I'm in love with this lady, she is fantastic!

I saw my lady weep, And Sorrow proud to be advanced so, In those fair eyes where all perfections keep. Her face was full of woe, But such a woe (believe me) as wins more hearts, Than Mirth can do with her enticing parts. Sorrow was there made fair, And Passion wise, tears a delightful thing, Silence beyond all speech a wisdom rare. She made her sighs to sing, And all things with so sweet a sadness move, As made my heart at once both grieve and love. O fairer than aught else The world can show, leave off in time to grieve. Enough, enough, your joyful looks excels. Tears kill the heart, believe; O strive not to be excellent in woe, Which only breeds your beauty's overthrow.

Such a wonderful voice and the sound of the lute is an amazing song.

Beautiful beyond words.

Goosebumps!! I love it!!

Silence...Oh.. what a delicate performance. TNX for sharing!

Féérique, sublime...enchanteresse Valeria. Quelle interprétation et quelle voix !!! Combien j'aime cette musique élizabéthaine que le grand et combien regretté Alfred Deller nous a fait découvrir au début des années 1970, pour ce qui me concerne.

Fantastic rendering of this little known Renaissance song by John Dowland. I am rapidly becoming fond of the songs by this Duo (Valeria and Alfonso) . Well Done. Beautifully performed.

Truly wonderfull singing !! And what sweetness in the sound of the lute !!

I love the dynamics in all of these videos. *****

The Lute is wonderfully played.

brought a tear to my eye.

Stirring performance!

Hermoso.

bravi, sempre bravi!

¡¡¡Qué buen gusto!!! Bravi

Es música renacentista.

Thanks LUTEVOCE:Like cures like ;dolans contra dolans.we must sing ourselves these songs anew for this our very melancholy age.[What would spell check do with William Kemps' ''Nine daies vvonder'- sorry for the aside'.I was so truculent as to say when I first heard Sting sing, Dowland that's o.k. but Stings singing it.,Shut it I said those who knew nothing now know anew

@JCP598 Claro.

@SSNUTHIN I edit English vocal music from c. 1580 to c. 1710 from original sources. I can provide much of what anyone might want. Editorial adjustments are possible if done with reasonable discretion.

this is such a hard song ! The breathing is incredibly difficult. It's also difficult for an American to pronounce. Very beautiful job. The lutenist is incredibly expressive. I like his ornamentation especially before the second verse !

Check back with me on the sampled version..🔥👌💯📈📈

Hi!! Valeria Mignaco, Soprano & Alfonso Marin, lute,, I wish yours answer my guess, 1-I think maybe this music as the renaiscense inprovisation could be added a ligth percusion or a other instrument like a viola or violin cello or flutes, whatever thing. 2- The voice in that time was less imposted or loud like a child or young aprentice or afitioned vocalist, That was possible? Thanks I wish your answer because I live in mexico and we are far awy from europe

I have been searching for the sheet music for this piece for my voice class and all I have been able to find is the vocal portion, whereas my class requires something for the pianist to follow. Where can I find the instrumental?

está en Am?

This is a difficult and testing song to perform. Both singer and lutenist pass with flying colours! It is time I returned to the early music enthusiast days of my youth. Semper Dowland, Semper Dolens, Semper Divinus.

La música barroca suele ser bastante

This is no barroque... beautiful singing but wrong context

バローク、ルネサンスの音楽家は、なぜハゲているのか？
