Title: Love Dowland, but Sting ruins it
Product review: I love Sting's music, and I love anything to do with Elizabethan England. I thought that this CD would combine the best of both worlds and be something that would utterly enthrall me.Dowland's songs and music are wonderful and the lute is beautiful. However, they are completely ruined by Sting. These songs were meant to be sung by someone with a clear, powerful and melodious voice. Sting's voice is raspy and at times it sounds like he doesn't have enough lung capacity. You can hear his labored breathing at times.I actually felt pained listening to him sounding seemingly in pain. I was so disappointed by this CD. I'm wondering if his voice has really gotten that bad, or if it's always been this way and he's always found a way to hide it.
