John Dowland was the most famous English lutenist composer and his considerable reputation during his lifetime extended across Europe as a result of his extensive travels and appointments at several continental courts. In the address InchTo the readerInch in his song book A Pilgrimes Solace published in 1612 he recorded that Inchbeing I am now entered into the fiftieth year of mine ageInch which means he was born in or around 1563. By 1588, when he was twenty-five, he was already listed amongst English musicians worthy of honor in Dr. John Case's Apologia musices and was again listed as one of England's greatest musicians in Francis Meres Palladis Tamia of 1598, but had to wait until 1612 to gain the appointment in the English court that he so much desired. Paul Beier lives in Milan, Italy, and teaches lute at the Civica Scuola di Musica Claudio Abbado. Alongside his concert and teaching activity, he also studies and researches historical sources of the lute repertoire. His recordings have received prizes and awards in the specialized international press.

This collection features some of Bobby Darin's biggest hits such as 'Splish SplashInch, 'Mack the KnifeInch and InchBeyond the SeaInch. [Note This product is an authorized CD-R and is manufactured on demand].
