DOWLAND: Songs for tenor and lute - A Musicall Banquet - Nigel Rogers

Nigel Rogers began singing at an early age as a boy treble and later became a choral scholar at King's College, Cambridge. After graduating he went first to Italy and then to Germany, where he studied at Munich's Hochschule für Musik. During the early 1960s he toured all over the world before returning to England, where he began to take a greater interest in Baroque music. He is accompanied here by first-class musicians: lutenists Anthony Bailes and Paul O'Dette, gambist Jordi Savall. - Disc 1 -1 CD1- the First Booke of Songes or Ayres: No. 11, Come Away, Come Sweet Love2 The First Booke of Songes or Ayres: No. 20, Come Heavy Sleep3 The First Booke of Songes or Ayres: No. 15, Wilt Thou Unkind Thus Reave Me?4 The First Booke of Songes or Ayres: No. 4, If My Complaints Could Passions Move5 The First Booke of Songes or Ayres: No. 3, My Thoughts Are Winged with Hopes6 The First Booke of Songes or Ayres: No. 19, Awake Sweet Love7 The Second Booke of Songs or Ayres: No. 3, Sorrow, Stay8 The
