Wow so fast on flute like on a recorder and such clear articulation when fast

[@flutesandfretsduo]

Thank you so much!

[@dbadagna]

Lovely performance, well filmed, and the flutist's fine attention to intonation (which sounds like something close to meantone) is appreciated.

[@flutesandfretsduo]

Listen to the Syncopation in this. Dowland was a proper Renaissance Rock musician - Rocknaissance.

[@flutesandfretsduo]

Haha yes he certainly knew what he was doing!

[@guidononne3765]

Bravi!!! 👏👏🤩

[@flutesandfretsduo]

Thank you!!

[@gerardvila4685]

Dowland wrote for voice (and of course for lute), but I think he would have liked the wonderful sweetness and agility of this flute.

[@flutesandfretsduo]

We really hope so too!

[@ThinkingEuropean]

So beautifully executed! Would you please let us know more about this flute? Copy of which instrument, made by whom? Thank you 😊

[@flutesandfretsduo]

Thank you so much! The flute is a tenor in D made by Giovanni Tardino from maple wood, a really wonderful instrument

[@Closminding]

The priory was Catholic and Dowland a Catholic convert.

Darwin is my hometown. There is so much film footage and when I see it, it HURTS all these years later. Find the film footage and watch it. 😢😢😢😢
