HiLo,
I'd rather hear Sting performing Dowland than that high voiced man who appears to be the only other option
Thomas Campion - I Care Not For These Ladies
I like to imagine what the original performances would have been like way back then, and that singer is not what I imagine.
I was listening to Alan Stivell yesterday and the way he performs some songs with just one or two instruments as accompaniment seems to me to be more like the original Elizabethan performance would have been, I think.
Alan Stivell - Silvestrig
Alan Stivell - Sally Free and Easy
