I just got Dowland A Dream by Hoppy Smith and find it to be qually well-played and interesting to Paul O'Dette's recording, but different. Anyone who is interested in Dowland's lute music should hear both Paul's and Hoppy's CDs. Nancy Carlin
Michael Thames says: Personally, I think Paul Odette's recordings of Dowland are unequalled. Recordings by well known players using thumb out, sound rather un- lute like after listening to Odette.
