Notes

Named Gramophone’s One to Watch and winner of the 2022 International Handel Singing Competition, Alexander Chance makes his recording debut on Linn. Drop not, mine eyes is a recital of English lute songs that soaks up the zeitgeist of the past couple of years to create a programme full of melancholic works by Dowland, Campion, Danyel, Purcell and others. If the ever-popular Dowland was readily prone to sadness, as exemplified by the pair I saw my lady weep and Flow, my tears, or indeed In darkness let me dwell, the polymath Thomas Campion favoured a more sober style, as shown in I care not for these ladies. Thomas Ford displays his more profane side here with Fair, sweet, cruel and What then is love. When it comes to melancholy, John Danyel’s Grief, keep within and Drop not, mine eyes are every bit as good as Dowland. The programme closes with Purcell, the other English Orpheus. Toby Carr provides sympathetic accompaniment on lute and theorbo.

Reviews

“… Chance sings cleanly and clearly with precise diction but with almost no vibrato, which imparts a stark solemnity to the music. Toby Carr offers a stark solemnity to the music. Toby Carr offers first-rate lute and theorbo accompaniment… The recorded sound is excellent.”

Robert A Moore – American Record Guide – September/October 2023

International Classical Music Award 2024 Nomination in the Baroque Vocal category

International Classical Music Awards 2024

Editor’s Choice – Vocal Section

“… It’s a lovely pairing, and a recording in which Chance stakes serious claim to the title of his generation’s most exciting British countertenor.”

Alexandra Coghlan – Gramophone magazine – July 2023

“… With his pure, silky timbre and impeccable vocal line, Chance captures the sensual, melancholic and tender character of these songs quite perfectly.” *****

Remy Franck – Pizzicato.lu – 7 May 2023
