Clara Brunet – Mr Dowland’s Dream [CD]

Description

Night falls and Mr Dowland cannot sleep and seeks release in his faithful orpharion. This, however, is no ordinary night: Orpheus and Arion inhabit the dark reaches of his instrument and awake in an instant as Dowland touches the silver strings with his goldsmith’s fingers. They take him on a powerful dreamlike journey, a visionary revery that is full of surprises and avant-garde soundscapes. The music of the 1600s is gradually transformed into unexpected worlds before Dowland finally sinks into deep sleep.
