Saw this program the other night and was very impressed with the lutenist. I haven't quite decided yet what I think of Sting's singing, but the
project was very interesting.

Sting is definitely not an operatic Valkriye type singer, but its very likely that thats how John dowland actually sang. Sting got a lot of Crap for
this album, but I really think he did something good with it. This is what turned me on to the beautiful music of John Dowland.

I just re-read my post. Not to sound homophobia here, but just to clarify: Jake's brother is married to my wife's cousin.
Best,
John
