God forbid that we should Tamper with it! ;-) Is Dowland really as "etched in stone" as all that? I have a number of renditions of Forlorn Hope on CD: rather bland sounding because they're played oh- so-correctly. Anyway, that aside, name one composer whose music should sound exactly the same every time it's played. Variety is the spice of life, even in the oh-so-purist lute world, right?
