Emma Kirkby and Jakob Lindberg - Musique and Sweet Poetrie, Jewe

Emma Kirkby & Jakob Lindberg - Musique and Sweet Poetrie, Jewels from Europe around 1600 FALC image + CUE sheet + HQ scans. This cd has been around as MP3 for a while, but I know the afficionados will apreciate a lossless version. Review ( http://www.allmusic.com/album/musique-and-sweet-poetrie-hybrid-sacd-w149291/review ): The subtitle of this album is "Jewels from Europe around 1600," and the "Jewels" could as well be applied to Emma Kirkby's voice and Jakob Lindberg's lute playing -- delicate but strong, beguiling, throwing off brilliant light. Kirkby's light soprano is ideal for this repertoire -- absolutely pure, but full of character and expressiveness, with a security that makes her singing sound effortless. She is well matched by Lindberg's playing, which is fleet and nuanced. He plays a sixteenth century instrument with exceptionally mellow tone that is thought to be the oldest lute still in use. Together, Kirkby and Lindberg draw the listener in as a companion with whom they are sharing precious intimacies. The songs and lute solos are eclectic, by English, Flemish, German, Italian, French, and Polish composers. The songs by the better-known English composers, such as Dowland and Morley, stand out for their expressiveness, but others, particularly the songs of Sigismondo d'India, are remarkable for their harmonic and vocal eccentricities, and the variety of the repertoire keeps the album consistently engaging. The sound of the SACD is clear and bright, and the balance between voice and lute is excellent. ~ Stephen Eddins Tracklist: 01 - Robert Johnson - Alman (Fitzwilliam Virginal Book) - 1:23 Jakob Lindberg 02 - Robert Johnson - Full Fathom Five, for voice & lute - 1:53 Emma Kirkby / Jakob Lindberg 03 - Thomas Morley - Thirsis and Milla, song in 2 sections for voice with lute & bass viol - 3:05 Emma Kirkby / Jakob Lindberg 04 - Thomas Morley - Come sorrow, come, song for voice with lute & bass viol - 7:07 Emma Kirkby / Jakob Lindberg 05 - Gregorio Huet - Fantasia for lute (from the Varietie of lute lessons) - 4:24 Jakob Lindberg 06 - John Dowland - Shall I sue, shall I seek for grace?, for 4 voices & lute (Second Book of Songs) - 2:50 Emma Kirkby / Jakob Lindberg 07 - John Dowland - Go crystal tears, for 4 voices & lute (First Book of Songs) - 3:04 Emma Kirkby / Jakob Lindberg 08 - Johannes Hieronymus Kapsberger - Toccata Arpeggiata for lute (from Book 1 of D'Intravolatura di Lauto) - 3:13 Jakob Lindberg 09 - Georg Schimmelpfennig - Dolce tempo passato, song - 5:05 Emma Kirkby / Jakob Lindberg 10 - Heinrich Schütz - Eile mich, Gott, zu erretten, for soprano & continuo, SWV 282 (Op. 8/1) - 3:09 Emma Kirkby / Jakob Lindberg 11 - Michelangelo Galilei - Toccata - 1:48 Jakob Lindberg 12 - Michelangelo Galilei - Corrente - 1:19 Jakob Lindberg 13 - Michelangelo Galilei - Volta - 1:21 Jakob Lindberg 14 - Sigismondo d'India - Quella Vermiglia Rosa for voice solo - 2:08 Emma Kirkby / Jakob Lindberg 15 - Sigismondo d'India - Da L'Onde del Mio Pianto for voice solo - 3:23 Emma Kirkby / Jakob Lindberg 16 - Robert Ballard - Première entrée de luth - 2:08 Jakob Lindberg 17 - Pierre Guédron - Cessés Mortels de Soupirer - 7:51 Emma Kirkby / Jakob Lindberg 18 - Jean Baptiste Böesset - Que Philis a l'esprit léger - 1:42 Emma Kirkby / Jakob Lindberg 19 - Etienne Moulinié - Paisible et ténébreuse nuit (récitative)) - 2:56 Emma Kirkby / Jakob Lindberg 20 - Robert Ballard - Branles de Village - 3:13 Jakob Lindberg 21 - Wojciech Dlugoraj - Fantasia - 2:00 Jakob Lindberg 22 - John Dowland - Shall I strive with words to move, for 4 voices & lute (A Pilgrimes Solace) - 3:05 Emma Kirkby / Jakob Lindberg 23 - John Danyel - He Whose Desires - 2:24 Emma Kirkby / Jakob Lindberg 24 - John Danyel - Dost Thou Withdraw Thy Grace? - 1:36 Emma Kirkby / Jakob Lindberg 25 - John Danyel - Why Canst Thou Not? - 1:43 Emma Kirkby / Jakob Lindberg 26 - Robert Johnson - Pavan - 5:33 Jakob Lindberg NOTE: In case you're just about to comment this torrent about the lack of separate tracks, READ THIS: http://forum.suprbay.org/showthread.php?tid=75295
