John Dowland - Lute songs, Lute music by Francesca Torelli Francesca Torelli : John Dowland - Lute songs, Lute music.
 Deep interpreter of lute music.

John Dowland (1563-1626) was one of the most important English composers of the past: although some printed editions of his works and various recordings are available on the market today, his music is still not much known to the large public. Francesca Torelli selected some songs for voice and lute she sings while accompanying herself on the instrument, as well as a number of pieces for solo lute. Among the latter, some are free-form pieces (e.g. the Praeludium and the Fancy), others were composed on ballad tunes (e.g. Fortune and What if a day), and some others in dance form (e.g. the Galliards and the Pavin).
