Actually I was impressed by the effort put into the production of the video.
Karamazov is an impressing player but - 'nuff said - this video is taken
from the "Sting-DVD" and there ways to many show elements within it for my
taste.
I like the Duo performing Police and Sting songs though - which is contained
as bonus material on the DVD (I'm sure one can find them on youtube)
we directly compared it to O'Dette's and Lindberg's version of th esame
piece and guess who "won"?

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.
