Théâtre du Chatelet under the baton of Emmanuelle Haim and a new recital programme of
works by John Dowland and his contemporaries which will be performed with the Basel based

Basiliensis. He is a winner of the 1999 ECHO Awards, Prix de l’Union de la Presse Musicale
Belge and the Middle Ages/Renaissance category of the 2002 Edison Awards for his
recording of A Musicall Banquet. He won a second ECHO Award in 2005 for his composition

Emperor’s New Clothes and The Nightingale.

Ahoy Andreas from 10-D PJ. Thanks for cyber befriending these salty dogs. Your engaging and evocative music vibrates our boat and fires up our synapses. It compelled us to look out to sea and realise there are no limited dimensions.

Thank you for a wonderful concert at The Royal festival Hall. It was like watching history in the making... Im sure you will be remembered like Senesino and Farinelli.
sehr erfreut, wieder einmal ein Stück aus dem "Album that never was..." zu hören (laut Anzeige war ich sogar der erste Hörer)! Ist es eigentlich auch gleichzeitig das "Album that never will be..."? Das wäre sooo schade! Aber, wem sage ich das...
Am Wochenende steigt zum 18. Male unser montalbâne-Festival in Freyburg/Unstrut. Zum 20. wollen wir ein paar ganz besondere Konzerte anbieten. Na...?
The concert last night at the Royal Festival Hall was very special - thanks so much for providing such a wonderful night's music, and especially for performing Erbarme Dich.
Just working my way through your new album at the minute and really enjoying it! It's a bit like having a comfort blanket thrown around you on a cold miserable day...also brings back fond memories of sitting in the library working on essays plugged into my walkman (it was like a brick!) many moons ago! I'm really enjoying listening to the viol consort and how you really compliment each other. Their accompaniment gives a real sense of continuity or 'flow' (ebb and flow) to these songs. Great to hear a fresh take on some Early Music and to be reminded how wonderful these songs are - even if they are a little melancholic a lot of the time! Many thanks again, Sharon
Did you know, if a fly flies into a cow's ear it can end up in its milk? Hence the saying, 'In through one ear and out the udder.' Ha ha! (Wann kommen Sie nach Kilkenny?) Have a beautiful day!
