Jupiter plays John Dowland
- concert
- classical music
Show & CultureShow & CultureJohn Dowland, who showed self-mockery by writing the title "Toujours Dowland toujours dolent," remains famous for his works about broken hearts and romantic disappointments, some of the greatest hits of Elizabethan England. Four centuries later, they still resonate deeply. Thomas Dunford and the ensemble Jupiter perform them with singers and a consort of viols da gamba, an instrument with a warm, velvety sound. If you too have a playlist for sad days, you will understand the genius of Dowland.
