This project is an encounter between two of the greatest English singer-songwriters, each a genius of his time and both renowned for beautiful melancholy. Nick Drake achieved little critical success during his lifetime, but has since been widely acclaimed, with poets such as William Blake, William Butler Yeats, and Henry Vaughan, influencing his lyrics. Drake died in 1974 at the age of just 26 years, but left a musical legacy that “throbs with [an] aching beauty” (Rolling Stone). Born almost 400 years earlier, John Dowland is best known for his melancholy songs of the English Renaissance.
