Lachrimae Pavan for Lute | John DOWLAND | Thomas Langlois 

This is a lovely performance of this piece. This young man has it all. Most of all “ Ears for what has gone before”. Many years ago, I played with the Cambridge City Jassband, at the old brewery in Mere. I was astounded to see Julian Bream, sitting on the grass in front of the stage. After our concert, sitting in my old VW Camper, I said to my wife, good grief Julian Bream, was in the audience, and how much I would like to meet him, but was too shy. Undaunted by this, my wife, disappeared, and to one of my life’s most endearing memories, returned with Julian, who said, “ If you won’t come to meet me, I’ll come to meet you” !. Flabbergasted, we shared some beer, I fortunately had, and talked of Dowland, Jazz , and much else. A most wonderful Maestro. But ! . The point of this ramble, is how much I admire your playing, and keeping the torch alive. Best Wishes, and Kindest Regards, Yours, John ( Fenner).

Wow! Never tire of listening to this. Beautiful boy as well.

Im unable to say how much I love dowland's music. Impressive play👌

England of bloody Tudor family have in their history this awesome composer,sir Dowland 👏👏👏

Formidable ! votre interprétation me replonge près de trente ans en arrière, lorsqu’à peine plus jeune que vous l’êtes je découvrais John Dowland. À ce petit chef-d’œuvre d’une puissance nostalgique extraordinaire, vous rendez pleinement justice. Mille mercis.

Beautiful played, amazing.

Beautifully played, with so much emotion - thank you!

*Beautiful performance that conveys the sense of the song version of Dowland while still reflecting the fact that the piece is a dance pavan. The melodic embellishments are beautifully rendered. Very refined! I hope a career as a solo lutenist opens up to you and you have the opportunity to record on famous lutes/theorbos.*

Thank you

This is a lovely interpretation of this piece. Beautifully played. Splendid resonance.

Congratulations Thomas👏👏👏

Wonderful!!

Excelente.

What a beautiful video! The music and the setting are so great! I subscribed immediately. I play a lot of lute music on classical guitar. It is so timeless.

Beautiful performance, Thomas! This was really very beautiful to hear.

S'est fort sans médiator en plus bravo

He's playing it in a baroque lute isn't he? does anyone have the arrangement by any chance?

Nice playing, although a very small Lute. An 8c Lute with a 70cm string length would be ideal.
