Sweet Melancholy by Florent Marie
French lutenist Florent Marie's new solo album is dedicated to the music of John Dowland, one of the greatest composers ever for his instrument. The selection of pieces on this album deliberately includes both the sombre and melancholy as well as the more cheerful and uplifting pieces from the composer's oeuvre, creating a rich and colorful musical bouquet of works by the famous Elizabethan lute master.
