Matthew Wadsworth at the York Early Music Festival

From the York Early Music Online Festival, lutenist Matthew Wadsworth plays music by Dowland, Rosseter, Johnson, de Visee and Piccinini at York. Presented by Lucie Skeaping.

From the 2020 York Early Music Online Festival, lutenist Matthew Wadsworth plays music by Dowland, Piccinini, Giovanni Kapsperger, and Francesco da Milano.

The lute and its larger cousin the theorbo have a long association with fantasy, whether in the improvisatory works of de Visee and Piccinini or the more formal contrapuntal creations of John Dowland and Robert Johnson. Matthew Wadsworth brings these strands together, along with Echoes in Air, a new piece written specially for him by Laura Snowden.
