Rosa. Elizabethan Lute Music

England in second half of the 16th-century, under the reign of Queen Elizabeth, saw an astounding artistic thriving. In music there was an efflorescence of consort music, the birth of the virginalists, and also a rich school of lute composers, with John Dowland as last and supreme representative. This album by Christopher Wilson presents the high points of this repertoire, from the earliest manuscripts to great figures such as Holborne, Dowland or John Danyel and his lovely pavane Rosa.
