Henry Lawes (1595-1662) and John Wilson (1595-1674) – friends and colleagues at Oxford, both members of the King’s Musick and working at the Chapel Royal – are a perfect twosome for this album. Closely following the thoughts and emotions of a young man, perhaps the unfortunate lover of a woman of low birth, this dramatic programme presents twenty two songs by Henry Lawes and combines them with the enigmatic and enchantingly beautiful preludes of John Wilson. This recording, with its resolutely sober casting (the voice of David Munderloh, the twelve-string lute of the now-famous Julian Behr and Silvia Tecardi's viola) offers us a unique look at the music of mid-17th century England and treats us to a taste of this rich repertoire. All the more so, as eighteen of the songs on this album are discographic world firsts. Lawes's life (1595-1662) covers four distinct and turbulent periods in English history: born in the dying days of Tudor England under Elizabeth I, he grew up under Stuart kings; and then, for better and for worse he saw the civil war (1642-1648), the interregnum, and then, more difficult still, the Commonwealth (1649-1653), to say nothing of Cromwell's dark and ultra-Puritan Protectorate, where music and musicians did well to keep a low profile (1654-1660), and finally the Restoration. The performers have grasped the subtleties of Henry Lawes's particular musical style, so that these songs can finally enjoy their full lustre as incontestable masterpieces, clear precursors to some of Purcell's pages. © SM/Qobuz

Albumbeschreibung
Henry Lawes (1595-1662) and John Wilson (1595-1674) – friends and colleagues at Oxford, both members of the King’s Musick and working at the Chapel Royal – are a perfect twosome for this album. Closely following the thoughts and emotions of a young man, perhaps the unfortunate lover of a woman of low birth, this dramatic programme presents twenty two songs by Henry Lawes and combines them with the enigmatic and enchantingly beautiful preludes of John Wilson. This recording, with its resolutely sober casting (the voice of David Munderloh, the twelve-string lute of the now-famous Julian Behr and Silvia Tecardi's viola) offers us a unique look at the music of mid-17th century England and treats us to a taste of this rich repertoire. All the more so, as eighteen of the songs on this album are discographic world firsts. Lawes's life (1595-1662) covers four distinct and turbulent periods in English history: born in the dying days of Tudor England under Elizabeth I, he grew up under Stuart kings; and then, for better and for worse he saw the civil war (1642-1648), the interregnum, and then, more difficult still, the Commonwealth (1649-1653), to say nothing of Cromwell's dark and ultra-Puritan Protectorate, where music and musicians did well to keep a low profile (1654-1660), and finally the Restoration.
