“One would be hard put to find as fine a collection of lute songs as these. The
voice of soprano Amanda Sidebottom is crystalline in its clarity. She uses just
a touch of ornamentation, always discreetly and tastefully. She has a fine
sense of both text and musical rhythm with which she interprets the various
bits of word painting with exquisite beauty. Lutenist Erik Ryding is the perfect
partner, providing a solid and sensitive accompaniment. His rhythmic acumen
is excellent, especially in the various inner voices, all of which are clear and
distinct. In short, this is an outstanding disc, and though there are other
recordings of many of the songs, this is a collection that should be a must
have for those who admire the wealth of music found in the English lute song.”
—Bertil van Boer, Fanfare
“Sidebottom’s diction is excellent; she is a compelling storyteller ... Ryding’s
beautifully played solos help break up the pace and supply a welcome
change of color.”
