The music of John Dowland reaches across the divide of centuries to touch our deepest emotions. In his "Lachrimae," Dowland took conventional themes -- teares, numerology, melancholy --and transformed them into musical gold. Reviews: "The King's Noyse plays stylishly, with a ravishing warmth of tone. The playing here is superb, and Dowland's music often sublime. - Fanfare, Nov/Dec 2002 "The King's Noyse play with clarity and an easy-flowing expression. Particularly attractive is "Flow my teares," a setting of the same melody that is the basis for the Lacrimae pavans." - EJ Johnson, BN.Com (May 2002)
