John Dowland: Flow my tears (Pavana Lacrimae) with viol and lute

[fiandrhi]

I disagree there is any kitsch in this music. In the self-pitying words of the song, perhaps, but the music is exquisite and perfect, as is this wonderful performance.

[ernststolz]

thank you! (this is an older video, my sound quality is nowadays a little bit better)

[kedgwell]

The sound is so rich! And the feeling is palpable. Thank you.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST VERSION OUT THERE: Unbelieveable technique; Lovely painting in tone-color: Instrumentation, mood, and atmosphere; and Beautifully-realized poetry of phrases. Real artists. They touched my imagination with their arrangement.  I am grateful this video was posted... Everyone else--off with your hats!

[ernststolz]

Thanks jimbobbyorganist, this is a delightful comment!

[ernststolz]

I am a bit late, but still thanks for your nice comment!

[Gealach74]

thanks...

beautiful sound, I love the timbre of the lute

[drisspissdriss]

Very nice video. I quite like the B&W idea. Playing is also fine. There are a few rhythmical quirks though which do a very slight harm to the flow of it all.

[ernststolz]

Thanks!

[iufiauto]

Wow! Fantastic! Beautiful! I can't wait to see what you do next!

[ernststolz]

Perhaps some French flute music soon?

[iufiauto]

Ça va bien!

Mooie Video, Mooie Muziek.

Ik vind dit ook een van de beste video's (De andere waren ook goed) maar in vergelijking met de andere is in de andere video's soms de elektronische nagalm wat te overheersend.

Je Video's zijn Goed, en worden steeds beter. Ik zie je volgende opname met vreugd' tegemoet :-)

[ernststolz]

Dank je. Net als bij het musiceren zelf is dit een kwestie van experimenteren, investeren en oefenen en de juiste instrumenten tot je beschikking hebben.

[unagondolaunremo]

bravi Ernst and Trond

It has not at all a whiff of kitsch!

In my opinion is one of your best video, impressive, emozionante, elegant in black and white

when if finishes, one needs to hear it again and again and again

[ernststolz]

Grazie Aldo, for this kind comment of yours! Ciao

[xAmandine]

Wonderful!

[Luthval]

Great all time hit ! Yin and Yang presentation fits so well ;-)

Lol

Val

[ernststolz]

Thanks Val, this one is really music for the millions.

[sandyhackney]

Flow my thoughts, melancholy a bit, but with pleasure at your music. Thank you!

[ernststolz]

Thank you Sandy. (Wednesday I will add some de Cabezón on my clavichord, as you asked last time)

[maureenmeijer]

Danke Ernst und Trond, wirklich ein wunderschönes Lied und wieder großartig gespielt!

[ernststolz]

Danke Maureen, das freut mich immer zu hören

[violnerd]

Thanks Ernst. Very lovely.  Funny thing, when I first started to play gamba, this piece was one of my top goals. What edition did you use? Kathy

[ernststolz]

Hi Kathy, actually no edition at all, this I know by heart backwards!
