Few periods in European history embody the flourishing of English music as vividly as the Elizabethan age. Around 1600, courtly festivities, sacred music, private music-making and a rapidly developing instrumental culture came together to create a musical world of extraordinary stylistic diversity. At the centre of this development stands John Dowland (1563–1626) – lutenist, singer and composer whose music continues to fascinate through its unmistakable combination of melancholy, vocal expressiveness and instrumental refinement. To mark the 400th anniversary of Dowland’s death, Capella de la Torre and its artistic director Katharina Bäuml explore this musical cosmos in The English Experience – Ways to Dowland, approaching Dowland not directly, but through a deliberately multifaceted journey.
