Renowned British tenor John Potter joins forces with Spanish lute and vihuela player Ariel Abramovich in a special programme to celebrate the 400th anniversary year of two publications by Robert Dowland, son of John Dowland. A Varietie of Lute Lessons is a compendium of European lute music from England, France, Germany and Italy, and contains fantasies, pavans, galliards, allemandes, courantes and voltas. The second publication, entitled A Musicall Banquet, is an extraordinary collection of songs from a golden age of English music.
