- Fiona Campbell sings Dowland's "Flow my tears" with Richard Tognetti and the Australian Chamber Orchestra.
An arrangement by David Bruce
Flow, my tears, fall from your springs!
Exiled for ever, let me mourn;
Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings,
There let me live forlorn.
Down vain lights, shine you no more!
No nights are dark enough for those
That in despair their lost fortunes deplore.
Light doth but shame disclose.
Never may my woes be relieved,
Since pity is fled;
And tears and sighs and groans my weary days
Of all joys have deprived.
From the highest spire of contentment
My fortune is thrown;
And fear and grief and pain for my deserts
Are my hopes, since hope is gone.
Hark! you shadows that in darkness dwell,
Learn to contemn light
Happy, happy they that in hell
Feel not the world's despite.

Ms. Campbell’s voice is warm and rich. I don’t care if it doesn’t sound “period”-it’s a valid and beautiful song interpretation.
Quelle performance admirable ! Madame Fiona Campbell a tout pour enchanter l’auditeur. Une voix d’une justesse exceptionnelle, une tenue délicate sur scène, une douceur qu’elle manifeste pendant l’interpretation et ensuite, une présence physique rayonnante dans une tenue vestimentaire parfaitement en accord avec les circonstances... Il est impossible de ne pas tomber amoureux de la cantatrice.
L’orchestre n’est pas en reste. Symbiose parfaite vocale-instrumentale, avec un musicien à la chevelure d’un style personnellement fantaisiste, qui apporte une petite note gentiment iconoclaste.
Chaque fois que j’écoute cette prestation je suis autant charmé.
Not only beautiful, melody, but the delivery of the well written words make this a enrichly experience, thank you
"If it sounds good, it IS good." (Duke Ellington) There's always room for another beautiful interpretation, different from all others. Love this version.
Perfectly put! I’ll quote both of you, fiercely, from now on!
So honoured to be her school mate back in the early days in Perth, Australia. Wonderful to hear this song being sung so beautifully. The arrangement with strings was just magnificent!
This is quite something, and my husband Anthony Rooley stated that "It gets to the essence of Dowland". As he has worked with Dowland most of his life he should know!
Fantastic to stumble on this Fiona….And what a wonderful arrangement by David Bruce. It was so encouraging to have some one working with such sensitivity to this deep text , transforming old to new, without any loss of integrity to the original…
Thank you for posting...

That shows great generosity by a musician, indeed two musicians, towards others. I would far prefer to hear Anthony Rooley accompanying. It would be interesting to hear Fiona Campbell sing the original version with lute accompaniment.
Great to hear an informed opinion on this beautiful interpretation of ancient music.
Fiona Campbell has a sublime voice..I had the privilege of singing in the SPC with her.
I love this interpretation, it’s refreshing to hear a well balanced mezzo moving gracefully through the passagio on this piece.
It was moving, and beautiful.
For music that is all that matters.
ONE OF THE BEST VOICES EVER!
I came across this video about 5 years ago while taking a music class in college. I still enjoy listening to this today.
Bravo bravo Fiona. Absolutely beautiful singing
Why are people complanining that this doesn't sound baroque? It shouldn't really sound baroque in the first place as Dowland was a renaissance composer. Good arrangement and interpretation if you ask me.
+Chris Why I should think that in the Baroque improvised on it as such. I think it was enduring.
Dowland takes place between renaissance and baroque period. Mozart was also between classic and romantic time. In our madness to classify, do not we forget that a composer is overall a free bird ? If the music is good, I open my ears, my heart. Best regards :-)
Francette Vigneron mozart is not really romantic I think. I would even say he's the greatest classical composer along with Haydn. Beethoven and Schubert are more representative of the transition I think. Well ok there are the requiem and maybe DG that sound quite romantic but the majority of his works don't, especially with the modern interpretation of his music that insist on objectivity and formally...
I agree with your message though
It is totally a typical English Madrigal and the resemblance of Monteverdi is uncanny. And of course a very beautiful piece. The van Eyck's solo Recorder version shows the piece very much more clear.
Fremglerk dowson? Who broke your divining rod?
The lyrics are absolutely perfect and beautiful 😭
Dowland + David Bruce= Awesome!
I am proud that there are at least some Australians capable of making a contribution to the performance of fine classical musical. Show cased on You tube, Tognetti and the ACO give me significant pride as a fellow countryman. I regret that too many Australians are imbued with false and PC notions of what constitutes the arts. An excellent performance. Bravo.
BEAUTIFUL. THANKS.
Perfect!!!
Beautiful individual interpretation - and a grand voice!
Thanks for the upload!
That is gorgeous music. One of the best arrangements I've ever heard if not the best.
Beautiful!!
Flow, my tears, fall from your springs!
Exiled for ever, let me mourn;
Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings,
There let me live forlorn.
Down vain lights, shine you no more!
No nights are dark enough for those
That in despair their last fortunes deplore.
Light doth but shame disclose.
Never may my woes be relieved,
Since pity is fled;
And tears and sighs and groans my weary days, my weary days
Of all joys have deprived.
From the highest spire of contentment
My fortune is thrown;
And fear and grief and pain for my deserts, for my deserts
Are my hopes, since hope is gone.
Hark! you shadows that in darkness dwell,
Learn to contemn light
Happy, happy they that in hell
Feel not the world's despite.
"Flow My Tears The Policeman Said" - novel by P. K. Dick
Omg this is beautiful! Voice is thicker than Jif peanut butter!!!
Peanut butter references are only valid in one country thankfully...
Fantastic.
Beautiful hermosa instrumentacion, ensamble maravilloso , y tu voz Fiona es ideal, que aterciopelada, oscura, redonda suave y dulce con gran potencia y a la vez tan medida! , me llevan al cielo y mas alla tambien !
Oh my! Such a beautiful voice!
Love this transcription and the musical singing. This long time favorite piece brought tears yet again. I want the album.
WOW! What depth of voice!❤
Above all: this is exquisite musique rendered exquisitely by great musicians and awesome singer! Yes, it is Renaissance composition with modern instruments. So? Who says that Renaissance, Baroque, Classical music cannot be performed with modern instruments? I love HIP, but above all I believe that music well performed has to be highly appreciated. 5 stars for interpretation and beauty!
beautiful music, beautiful voice!
It's music, why are so many people complaining about the video quality?!?
Gosh Fiona, what a lovely voice. Many thanks, one of my fav songs.
Fascinating arrangement. Divine vocals. For me...overall haunting emotional
piece of music. Thanks for sharing.
Such Artistry
interesting creative arrangement of the Dowland lute part. Enjoyed the "improvised" ornaments.
They aren't "improvised", they are improvised.
This is a beautiful interpretation
Because with RUclips, most typically expect video to actually be entertaining video. Not taking sides here, I'm a strong believer of music being beautiful in itself; being able to just close your eyes and let the messages play through your mind. Good pieces can often play a movie in your mind, if people only gave it the chance.
On a side note, thanks to the uploader for posting this here :)
So beautiful ...
Wonderful.
Very nice Interpretation;. We no Not know anything about the Original Interpretation. We just can like or dislike a new Interpretation. i like it.
Wonderful!
beautiful
Brilliant!
Amazing
schön bewegt
I enjoyed the La Folia introduction!
thanks
Jewel
Beautiful voice!!!
hermosa, bellisima vos, vos de diosa; felicidades, saludos des tlahuac mexico i love you
"Flow My Tears... The Policeman Said" P.K.D. 1928-1982
the chords from the begining its like ''the follia''
Thank You, kind man!
Seeing the cellists made me miss playing the cello cause I played it for 6 years and it was fun, but then I remembered that I sucked ass at the cello and should’ve taken choir in school instead 😂
LOVE the guys mohawk! That guy is so metal lol
Lovely soulful measured performance of this fabulous tune. The Australian Chamber Orchestra were great with very good balance of sound. I thought of Kathleen Ferrier when I first heard it...not sure if she recorded this.
Ferrier was contralto. I haven't come across a recording of her doing this. But much more deep liquid voice.
The introductory 'folía' is a very good idea!
Best
She sounds a lot like Renee Fleming. Lord of the Rings. Go girl. I enjoyed it!
1597, in First Book of Songs, by John Dowland
Neat version.
This is Renaissance, not baroque >.
ruclips.net/video/13TYxnElmiI/видео.html&start_radio=1
is this baroque?
Renaissance and first baroque
wait, who said that Dowland was baroque?????
Is renaissance and first baroque. You can't divided it in a concrete year. It's a process and continuous evolution
May I know what do you call on that performance ?
"An arrangement by David Bruce"
Is this the same David Bruce from youtube?
Indeed

Yo detesté el arreglo. Tanto adorno hace que se pierda lo principal. La belleza de esta música radica en lo puro y preciso del sonido. Me pareció empalagoso. Bueno, igual está muy bien hacer versiones diferentes de todo, así que igual se valora... pero para mi gusto es una cursilada.
Serías muy triste escuchando música de esta época, hasta le falta muchos más adornos, me pareció muy bella está versión, y aunque un poco modernizada, y no tiene tantos adornos cómo sería bueno.
cuál version recomiendas?
@@Nadelanuyou can't say, it should be this or that, every peice of art is down to the llistner to interpret,
Who's the guy with the mohawk? He looks very familiar.
Opteryx Industries You are thinking, perhaps, of Nigel Kennedy?
Yeah, that's it!
it is not of course

This is also good version but I can't look something when voice and picture is not synchronized, it makes very sick feeling and very unpleasant to watch. Could you please do some re-editing with this, thank you. I love this Dowland and this another point of wiew, we play this with acoustic and classical guitars instrumentally named Lacrimae of Pavane. I´m not so big fan of classical music but Dowland is so musical and good for singers too.
Her voice is perfectly beautiful but I really prefer this with fewer instruments as they tend to drown out the vocal. Give me a viol and lute any day.
Hola.
If you could play this music on a jaw harp it would still be wonderful. . .this version is a little self indulgent and touchy-feely for me. . .but still, a great effort.
Lewis, I have to strongly disagree. In this case, despite the number of the musicians and complexity of the orchestra, the arrangement is unexpectedly "simple" and lightweight.
I didn't care for this version too much. Fiona's voice does not stand out clearly above the instruments, and the violins have a rather cheep sound. Perhaps it is the acoustics of the room or the quality of the recording devices. In any case, it left me cold.
Превратила прекрасное в оперу. И сама не способна понять , что делает
Too bad this is so messed up. I'd love to see it when it's fixed.
Her voice is beautiful, but I wasn’t crazy about some of the interpretive choices. Also, the violin flourishes didn’t fit Dowland’s style, and were too Italianate for my taste. Still, some really lovely moments!
More than a little 'over orchestrated'.
For me the arrangement destroys the lute song ... its not an opera aria ... it is a little very dark emotional piece that centers on the voice. For me it's overarrange and by way to dramatically sung. Again its not Purcell. But they are trying to make into. The voice is good but overdramatic where colour and shades of the voice need to create that certain Downland Saudade
Not autentic but such beautiful
Beauty is *always* authentic !
wow I didn't expect this to be so good! Shame about the breath control but good interpretation
This arrangement is far too elaborate for my liking. It looses something. There's a lot to be said for simplicity.
...and correct spelling...
If you listen to an ‘original’ broken consort - or even a solo lute - version, it has much of the same elaborate and too much-ness. These musicians are obciously modern with a ‘luggage’ of romantic pieces, but I find their approach in accompanying the vocal is very renaissance (BTW I play the lute myself)
Welp music is subjective 🤷♂️ your opinion is valid
Yet too much vibrato for the period.
she's no Linda Fox
Fiona es maravillosa. La orquesta suena horrible.
Le merveilleux et sentimental song de Dowland ne gagne rien à cet "arrangement" compassé. Je n'aime pas du tout.
Umm...not really baroque.
Of course it isn't. Dowland was not a contemporary of Vivaldi!
Arrangement is not good
it sounds like classical music. But it's baroque music :/
Baroque? I think not! Dowland was not a contemporary of Vivaldi.
The word "phony" comes to mnd
horrível ,hediondo ,péssimo ,bestial ,perdeu toda a plenitude,beleza, melancolia e pureza de Dowland
