Great perfirmance indeed! Very evocative and "affektiert". Don't know if the archlute (thankfully double coursed) is something Dowland would have played on, but it sounded great. Short nails on RH. Combination of TI - TO. Lots of changes of RH position and holding of the lute, which makes the cl

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 ins

You are of course aware that the sound is playback and probably not played on the instrument used in the video. The first note is an Eb, so the instrument is in Eb or he has transposed the piece. Also the images are almost never in sync with the music. All the best Mark -Ursprüngliche Nach

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

Yeah Mark, on the second scrutinous look after posting I noticed that. But when you shut your eyes and just listen to the soundtrack, you get a feeling that K tries to bring across a bit of the drama and power of this top 10 Dowland piece. For that I salute him. Taking the liberty to substitute

Hi Dante, You are absolutely right, I personally have no problem with him changing the last chord, I also would not do it, but if he wants to why not. There is probably nothing more un-HIP than not daring to stray from the written page. Playing exactly what is written is more a romantic or modern

I agree David, anyone is entitled to work out a composition as they see fit. However; in doing so they must also be willing to take the heat and ridicule, if a majority of listeners think they have perverted the composition, as well as the praise, from those who think what they did was genius.
