Welsh soprano Elin Manahan Thomas and the ensemble Fretwork with lute player Elizabeth Kenny in a recital of songs and instrumental works by the melancholic Elizabethan composer John Dowland.

This concert, recorded last year in Antwerp, includes Dowland's signature song "Flow my tears", and several of its instrumental siblings, the Lachrymae pavans.

Part 1
Flow my tears
Lachrimae antiquae
Lachrimae antiquae novae
The King of Denmark, his Galliard
Can she excuse my wrongs - The Earle of Essex, his Galliard

Part 2
Lachrimae gementes
My thoughts are winged with hopes
Sorrow, stay
Sir John Langton's Pavan
Come again
In darkness let me dwell
Time stands still

Part 3
If my complaints
Lachrimae amantis
I saw my lady weep
Mr Henry Noell his Galliard
Shall I strive with words.
