<淚> -道蘭與喬治.班傑明作品 莎拉.布雷頓 女中音/ Dowland - Benjamin: Seven Tears Upon Silence

When John Dowland composed the seven pavans that form the famous 'Lachrimae', he gave the instrumental repertoire one
of its first masterpieces. The Sit Fast consort, led by Atsushi Sakai, features a new version of this timeless score.
The viol also features in George Benjamin's 'Upon Silence', written in 1990 for five viols and mezzo-soprano, based on a
poem by Yeats, extends and updates the poetic tears of John Dowland.

Four centuries separate the two composers but with themes of grief, polyphonic writing and viol consort in common, they are
elegantly recorded by the Sit Fast consort.
