John Dowland: Lachrimae for Viol Consort | Phantasm · MarchVivo

Melancholy was such a widespread ailment in the Renaissance that it prompted extensive medical treatises that delved into its causes. In music, the best example of the importance of this emotional imbalance was the instrumental collection Lachrimæ, or Seaven Teares, composed by the English lutenist John Dowland in 1604.

Phantasm was based at the University of Oxford from 2005 when they were appointed Consort-in-Residence. In Autumn 2010, they began a new association as Consort-in-Residence at Magdalen College, where they performed, recorded, and collaborated with the acclaimed College Choir. Phantasm have also making regular appearances for several seasons at the Wigmore Hall, appearing a total of three times during the 2017/2018 season. In 2015, Phantasm moved its base of operations to Berlin, Germany, where director Laurence Dreyfus plans the consort's activities and pursues his own independent research in musicology, performance studies, and music analysis.

So brilliant was its concert that we will have no other option but inviting them again at the Fundación Juan March. No choice!

Brilliant and thank you! Love the way the lutenist has decorated cadences ornaments and little fill-ins, and the amazing part adds impetus to all pieces … you cd. compile a little history of Jacobethan England from the dedicatees

[@staffanolofsson8201]

As always from MarchVivo interesting music! This Viol Ensemble is super.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

And evidently melancholia has existed for a long time in our civilization.

[@marcsmith5275]

Thus there are notions such as bittersweet, sadder but wiser, and so on?

[@DanielMessiasSantos-gy8bk]

Your work is excepitional, I realized it demands a lot of time, isn' it?... Beautiful!

[@marchvivo]

Music-making at this very high level is always demanding, but you also need talent and a original performing conception.

[@DanielMessiasSantos-gy8bk]

Gratulation!
