Barbara Bonney "Come again, sweet love doth now invite" John Dowland

Barbara Bonney is one of the leading lyric sopranos of her generation. With over 100 recordings to her name, her artistry has been documented for generations of singers to come. Her Sophie (Rosenkavalier) is legendary the world over, as are her Mozart roles of Susanna(Figaro), Parmina (Zauberflote). Ms. Bonney devoted much of her 30 year career to Lieder, and continues to sing Lied-Recitals and Orchestral Concerts. She is a devoted mentor of the new-generation-singer, and is currently Professor at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, as well as guest professor of the Royal Academy of Music in London.

Jacob Heringman - Lute

The American-born lutenist Jacob Heringman studied with Jakob Lindberg at the Royal College of Music in London, and later with Pat O'Brien in New York.

Based in England since 1987, he has established himself as one of the world's most respected and most innovative solo lute players, and as a much sought-after ensemble player performing regularly throughout Europe and North and South America, and making many CD and radio recordings of medieval and renaissance music with leading English ensembles, including The Rose Consort of Viols, Fretwork, Musicians of the Globe, The Kings Singers, The New London Consort, Virelai and The Dufay Collective.

As a continuo player, Jacob Heringman performed and recorded with The King's Consort, The English Baroque Soloists, The Parley of Instruments and The Taverner Consort, among others. In 1993, he left the continuo circuit to focus on renaissance solo and ensemble projects.

Jacob's playing is also to be heard on the soundtracks of many Hollywood films (including Harry Potter III , Kingdom of Heaven and Ridley Scott's Robin Hood), and occasionally on pop albums (most recently, Joni Mitchell's Travelogue).

Jacob has given solo recitals throughout Europe and in North America. In recent years, he made numerous tours of the USA and Canada performing both the Josquin and Pickeringe programmes.

As an accompanist, Jacob Heringman has performed and recorded lute songs with Michael Chance and Barbara Bonney, among others. He is also half of a duo with the mezzo-soprano Catherine King, with whom he has toured extensively and recorded four lute song discs for ASV and Linn, all of which have been greeted with high praise from reviewers. One of these, entitled Airs de Cour, for which the duo was joined by the tenor Charles Daniels, was voted one of the top CDs of 1999 by both Gramophone and the BBC Music Magazine.

Jacob is married to Susanna Pell, of Fretwork and the Dufay Collective, and they live on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales with their young daughter, Edie.

The Radiant Voice of Barbara Bonney

"Come again, sweet love doth now invite"
John Dowland

Come again! Sweet love doth now invite
Thy graces that refrain
To do me due delight,
To see, to hear, to touch, to kiss, to die,
With thee again in sweetest sympathy.

Come again! That I may cease to mourn
Through thy unkind disdain;
For now left and forlorn
I sit, I sigh, I weep, I faint, I die
In deadly pain and endless misery.

Gentle Love, draw forth thy wounding dart,
Thou canst not pierce her heart;
For I, that do approve
By sighs and tears more hot than are thy shafts
Do tempt while she for triumphs laughs.

Love this version - it's on my itunes. My first introduction to this song was a version by Laurindo Elmaida & Sally Terri that I had on cassette tape!

p.s. - my favourite Bonney tune? Bach's 'Coffee Cantata' (Heute Noch). Outstanding!

@agcity1

BB's version is stellar. I have BB singing Bach's Heute Noch on my channel, I dedicated to my mother, she really loved her coffee :D

Thank you for commenting, please feel free to check out all of BB videos on this channel.

We had to sing this in choir. My teacher said I sounded like Bonney ;~;

[acatalano2641]

@slyfertail

Your teacher just handed a great compliment !!!

Best wishes in all your musical endeavors.

[zaardele]

This version is The Best of The Best!!! :)))

@zanderary

I figured it was just a typo. The brain is faster than the fingers :) Thanks for your comment and for viewing Ms. Bonney's video.

[zanderary]

@acatalano2641 Yes! Thank you for pointing this out!

[acatalano2641]

@zanderary

I believe that you left out the word 'not' in your last sentence....right?

[zanderary]

Bonney ALWAYS delivers: taste, technique, subtlety, flawless tone, and amazing vulnerability. She ventures into the world of Elizabethan lute songs and gives a totally convincing rendition, free from anomalies of the other periods of music that she sings so admirably. That she is a household name in the world of classical music is beyond me.

@andypandywright
