Overview
Iestyn Davies closes his Wigmore Hall residency with a voyage around the thrilling world of late Tudor and Stuart lute songs and a new work by Nico Muhly.
He opens with music by Robert Johnson, composer of the original settings of several of Shakespeare’s lyrics. Poetic eloquence runs through the work of John Danyel, Thomas Campion and, above all, John Dowland, whose feeling for emotional extremes surges through songs such as ‘Can she excuse my wrongs’ and ‘Flow my tears’.
