Come, Heavy Sleep (Arr. for String Quartet by Sini Simonen)
John Dowland; Castalian String Quartet |
2:57 | |||
From the darkness of night emerges day, the cycle of nature tracing the journey of the soul. The finely calibrated emotions of Orlande de Lassus’s song "La nuit froide et sombre", and of his near-contemporary John Dowland’s "Come, heavy sleep", are made newly vivid in transcriptions by the Castalian String Quartet, framing a programme which exists both inside and beyond time.
Profound meditations on immortality and worldliness from Beethoven and Thomas Adès receive readings of extraordinary intensity, the Quartet’s burnished tone and astounding interconnectedness making this a debut that demands to be heard.
