I find it noisy and gimmicky; a lot of look-at-me that distracts from
the flow of a masterpiece. But that's a matter of taste, I suppose,
as is tolerance for the slop whenever he plays sixteenth notes.
But if he doesn't like the way Dowland ended the piece, he should
play another piece instead of dramatically substituting a minor chord
for the major one Dowland wrote. I'm sure there's a lot of lute
music that's inconsequential enough that it's not a great sin to
tamper with it, but Forlorne Hope isn't in that class.
