Review
The Dowland Project requires a certain aesthetic readjustment in the listener weaned on authenticke treatments of this 16th-century master. The result is not only beautiful, however, but oddly enough remains more faithful to the melancholic and intimate character of Dowlands songs than one would have thought possible. This is exactly the kind of innocently audacious venture, flying in the face of artistically correct attitudes to early music performance that ECM is able to pull off with such aplomb. --Paul Richardson, The Independent
This is a disc of whispered conversations: among musicians, cultures and periods past, present and future. Anonymous composers from the Franus Codex and the Carmina Burana manuscript break bread with Josquin and Lassus, while ancient instruments freely consort with modern. [...Forget crass labels like crossover Romaria is as pure a musical experience as youre likely to have. --William Yeoman, Gramophone
With this, its third mesmeric and magical album, the Dowland Project applies its modus operandi developing new realisations of early music through improvisation and experimental interaction to a selection of pieces from the early-13th to late-16th centuries. Purists may quibble, but the results are convincing and, more importantly, utterly compelling and ravishingly beautiful. --Barry Witherden, BBC Music Magazine
Product Description
From its inception, John Potters Dowland Project has drawn upon different musical traditions, including those of early music and improvisation.
The Night Sessions album emphasizes the Projects improvisational flexibility, as the players create new music, sometimes with poetry as inspirational reference and guide. There are also a number of daytime pieces worked up, Potter says, from small amounts of notation: Menino Jesus a Lappa is based on Portuguese pilgrim song fragments and Theoleptus 22 built around a Byzantine chant. Lute fantasias are taken from Dalzas Intabolatura de Lauto (Venice, 1508) and Attaignants Tres breve et familiere introduction...a jouer toutes chansons (Paris, 1529). The oldest compositions are Can vei la lauzeta mover a love song by the 12th century troubadour Bernart de Ventadorn, and Fumeux fume by the 14th century avant-gardist Solage. Two incarnations of the Dowland Project are heard here, the original band with Potter, Stephen Stubbs and John Surman joined by Barry Guy and Maya Homburger, and the revised line-up with Milos Valent on violin and viola. Yet the music, recorded at St. Gerold sessions in 2001 and 2008, reflects a unified sense of purpose.
