Beautiful interpretation. The lute was very precisely played. She has a lovely delicate clear voice that she modulates so well. I loved the harmonization with herself at the end. Maybe borrowed from Sting who sings Dowland so well too.
I listend to about 300 versions of this song and I always "came again" to what I first thought and felt (!): This one is as far as I heard the very best!!!
Beautiful interpretation, its always a delight to hear Dowland being sung in a more natural voice rather than the classic soprano that we are used to these days
Lyrics: Come again Sweet love doth now invite Thy graces that refrain To do me due delight To see, to hear To touch, to kiss To die with thee again In sweetest sympathy To see, to hear To touch, to kiss To die with thee again In sweetest sympathy All the day The sun that lends me shine By frowns doth cause me pine And feeds me with delay Her smiles, my springs that makes my joy to grow, Her frowns the winter of my woe Her smiles, my springs that makes my joy to grow, Her frowns the winter of my woe All the night My sleeps are full of dreams, My eyes are full of streams My heart takes no delight To see the fruits and joys that some do find And mark the storms are me assign'd To see the fruits and joys that some do find And mark the storms are me assign'd Come again! That I may cease to mourn Through thy unkind disdain; For now left and forlorn I sit, I sigh, I weep, I faint, I die In deadly pain and endless misery I sit, I sigh, I weep, I faint, I die In deadly pain and endless misery
John Dowland wrote a lot of sad music, I'm glad he had the happiness in his life to write this. I think that happiness has been found again and shared to the world with this performance, so joyful.
John Dowland (1563-1626) foi um compositor e alaudista inglês, considerado em sua época como um músico bastante virtuoso, compondo peças instrumentais e para canto. A instrumental (para alaúde) foi renovada e sua transcrição para guitarra passou a incluir o repertório dos guitarristas eruditos no século XX. Dowland escreveu diversos cadernos com peças para alaúde solo e canções com acompanhamento do alaúde. "Come Again" foi incluída em seu 1º Caderno de Canções em 1597. A interpretação do Duo Bensa-Cardinot é sublime e ultrapassa os limites da perfeição. Olivier demonstra completo domínio técnico do alaúde extraindo do instrumento um timbre suave, complementando o canto de Cécile que é puro, preciso e angelical. BRAVO !
Just wonderful and quite different from the first version. This time Céciles voice comes out much stronger and her duet with herself is stunning. Olivier's accompaniment on the lute is flawless but I must say (hoping you will not take this amiss) that on the guitar he sounded more spirited. Be that as it may - this great duo deserves highest acclaim!A+++
Wunderschön! Even better than your first version. This lovely voice and the fantastic performance on the lute are nothing but perfect. Now in a more effectful video. Fantastic. Thank you for sharing this, and leaving me here undecided between tears in my eyes and being happy about this wonderful piece of music.
Un magnifique duo très bien réalisé, une vidéo somptueuse et sobre, et une production sonore très agréable, une voix céleste parfaitement ponctuée des notes de ce luth en symbiose totale. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What an outstanding performance! A beautiful natural voice and a freely interpreted lute accompagnement. A delight!!! I can't get enough. Could we get more of that? I thank you so much!
Very very nicely done - My good friend is a retired symphony cellist- he is in residence now at a local college - conducts small symphony there and also the chamber music - This reminds me of chamber music. I'm neither musician nor expert but he and his harpist wife say I have a good ear. I hear all the notes and the vocals here and arranged duet just beautiful. Merci beaucoup
I Wrote a paper on John Dowland a few years ago for a music history class and this version of Come Again was the main focus of my essay. I love how you switch around and shorten the lyrics. Definitely my favorite interpretation of this song!
A very dynamic and inspired performance, really highlighted the melody. Most don't bring out its character like that. I hear a lot of G. Handel, he must of studied or came in contact with this style in England some two centuries later, because his arias use these kind of vocal jumps to great effect.
Très jolie voix naturelle avec beaucoup de fraicheur avec un accompagnement de qualité cependant un peu musclé !!!!!!j'avoue préférer infiniment les instruments moins tendus avec des chœurs doubles ou encore un théorbe français.... moins à cause du timbre que de la richesse harmonique des notes :en effet les cordes doubles ou octaviées donnent une plus grande polyphonie..pour moi le talent du guitariste _luthiste n'est pas en cause on peut aussi jouer la musique de marais au violoncelle mais ce sera différent et moins beau que les 7 cordes de la viole....dijon 5.06.2022
Je suis assez d'accord avec votre commentaire : d'abord pour dire que c'est magnifique et que la fraîcheur et la dynamique convient très bien à cette musique, pour une fois que Dowland ne sombre pas dans les marécages de la mélancolie :-) Ils nous épargnent les rubato, ports de voix, et j'adore les roulements des RRR de Cécile, etc... lol. A propos de l'accompagnement musclé, c'est toute la difficulté de jouer les "Ayres" de Dowland : en fait c'est assez virtuose à ce tempo car c'est une réduction de 4 voix (consort de violes ou de voix) mais, pour autant, le luthiste doit rester en retrait... Olivier Bensa joue, avec une (excellente) technique de guitariste sur un luito forte... je ne sais pas si il est accordé en sol, selon l'accord renaissance qui convient aux tablatures de Dowland, ou en Mi comme une guitare ?? J'ai toujours été intrigué par l'engouement pour ces instruments et comme leur nom l'indique, ils sonnent assez fort.
Love this. Both performers excel. Cardinot voice, almost vibrato-less is perfect for this repertoire. Beautiful.
Beautiful interpretation. The lute was very precisely played. She has a lovely delicate clear voice that she modulates so well. I loved the harmonization with herself at the end.
Maybe borrowed from Sting who sings Dowland so well too.

Truly the most beautiful song performed in the most beautiful way .
Beautiful interpretation, its always a delight to hear Dowland being sung in a more natural voice rather than the classic soprano that we are used to these days
Lyrics:
Come again
Sweet love doth now invite
Thy graces that refrain
To do me due delight
To see, to hear
To touch, to kiss
To die with thee again
In sweetest sympathy
To see, to hear
To touch, to kiss
To die with thee again
In sweetest sympathy
All the day
The sun that lends me shine
By frowns doth cause me pine
And feeds me with delay
Her smiles, my springs that makes my joy to grow,
Her frowns the winter of my woe
Her smiles, my springs that makes my joy to grow,
Her frowns the winter of my woe
All the night
My sleeps are full of dreams,
My eyes are full of streams
My heart takes no delight
To see the fruits and joys that some do find
And mark the storms are me assign'd
To see the fruits and joys that some do find
And mark the storms are me assign'd
Come again!
That I may cease to mourn
Through thy unkind disdain;
For now left and forlorn
I sit, I sigh, I weep, I faint, I die
In deadly pain and endless misery
I sit, I sigh, I weep, I faint, I die
In deadly pain and endless misery
Thx
I can never listen to different versions of this song. Your interpretation is just better than anything else
Wow! Absolutely lovely, impelling, elegant, touching rendition. Her duet is exquisite.
Chose some of your music before retiring. No regrets. Merci Beaucoup - Restez en sécurité et en bonne santé!!
