Product Description

Former Police frontman Sting ventures into "new" musical territory with an album featuring the music of acclaimed Elizabethan songwriter, John Dowland (1563-1626).

Sting is joined on this recording by much-admired lutenist Edin Karamazov, in what he describes as "a soundtrack to Dowland's life in words and music". In the early 1980s, Sting was first introduced to the music of John Dowland and has confessed that his music has been "gently haunting" him for more than twenty years. On 'Songs from the Labyrinth' Sting incorporates extracts from an extraordinary letter into this album as short recitations, re-creating a flavour of Dowland's life and times.

スティングmeetsリュート音楽ってジャスト...

投稿日：2006/10/05 (木)

スティングmeetsリュート音楽ってジャストミートな感じがします。元々コントラバス弾いてクラシックやジャズ、民族音楽が混交された、音楽史を紐解くようなソロ活動をしてきた訳ですからね。雰囲気としてはSoul Cagesに似てそうですが（ジャケも似てる）、さあどんなんやろ。
