I love Stings eclectic and magical music. This is his take on medieval pop songs that allows us to stand with a foot in both eras. Fascinating and lovely. A well spun tale in song.
What a trip this. Heart grabbing emotion, History and beautiful music written for the voice and words so chosen and placed they give such depth. Sting is a bit gravelly but enjoyed his lower registers....actually this purchase replaces a lost copy, I like it that much.
Read the history, then listen and be washed with ships, religion, war, the Queen, the lute, love, rejection, flight and rejection. All there for the taking.
I love it, but then I play the recorder, so perhaps I'm out of my time.
