Robert Johnson lute solos and songs Carolyn Sampson soprano Mark Levy bass viol Matthew Wadsworth lute Almans. Fantasia. Pavans - F minor;C minor (x 2) As I walked forth. Away delights. Care-charming sleep. Come, heavy sleep. Come hither, you that love. Hark, hark! the lark. Have you seen the bright lily grow?. How wretched is the state. O let us howl. Tell me dearest. Where the bee sucks. Woods, rocks and mountains. Galliard. Almain I. Almain II. Gypies Metamorphosed - The Gypsies Song With endless tears. Avie New CD AV2053 (65 mins, 2003/4) Plucked instruments record perfectly and the lute is the ideal instrument for late night listening before bed, whether alone as in Louis Pernot's explorations of the Gaultier cousins, or combined with voice as in the recordings of Matthew Wadsworth, England's star of the younger generation following Bream and Rooley. Recording and presentation (research and notes by Matthew Wadsworth) are exemplary with unfussy print, good sized & black on white. Recommended, and equally Wadsworth's latest of Philip Rosseter.
