Jonas Nordberg - John Dowland: Lessons

In English Renaissance collections of music, the term �lessons� is often used to describe instrumental pieces, even though they aren�t pedagogical exercises as such. But as Jonas Nordberg writes in an introduction to his new disc �there remains much in them to be studied�. John Dowland is one of the composers whose music was a driving force of the Early Music revival already at the beginning of the 20th century. He has also played a central role in the rediscovery of the lute itself, an ongoing process which began more than a hundred years ago.
