Voice and lute were inseparable partners throughout at least two centuries of English music making. On this recording Paul Hillier and Nigel North present some of the most eloquent songs in the English language by the 17th-century lutenist/singer-songwriters who both composed and performed their own music. The poetry of John Donne is prominently featured, vividly sung and read by Paul Hillier.
