This very sophisticated composition by John Dowland over 400 years ago is brilliantly brought to life by Sting and lutenist Edin Karamazov. The 4-Sting choral part around the table is historically accurate as singing books were published so each singer around a table could read their separate part. Sting consulted leading musicologists before recording John Dowland's compositions. And isn't Edin Karamazov's lute playing extraordinary?

John Dowland ( 1563- 1626) Why you didn't inform the name of the composer? Some may not know about him and may thing it is by Sting when Sting is only singing a musica from Shakespeare time. By the way, I love Sting intepretation and yes, I know this song by others, like for instance The Julian Bream Consort. Great, great, great, but somehow Sting's touches me more although I also like maybe because Sting is kind of magical...I felt I traveled in time. I saw myself in the Elizabethan era sitting next to him and Karamazov who is simply fantastic and added something very special to the video.

Amazing..! Now I understand a bit more the inspiration behind Gentle Giant and even Jethro Tull.
Rick Beato also brought me here. Sting and Karamazov did an amazing job! Much to my surprise, I was able to find this song on online karaoke and sing it this morning. Unfortunately, I have one voice only!
You can watch it thanks in small part due to me. This video is the only one available on KZhead since 2010, since I am the only one who has the exclusive permission from Sting and copyright holders to keep it on my channel without a copyright strike. In my Music section playlist you can also find and watch many more Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque era music videos. Sincerely, Astrid .
Superb! Just superb!
Unreal!!! So beautiful! One of the most complex pieces written for the voice and Sting hit's it right out of the park. Karamazov, brilliant!
Beautiful version!! Thanks for sharing
A wonderful album, I love it!
The first rock star. Dowland rules !!!
Bloomin' fantastic!
I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Georgeous rendition - Thanks Rick Beato!
Love it!
True pearl within peas ... Thank you.
Oh my goodness! That is so beautiful.
i love this album
Never thought a Harkonen could sing so beautiful......Feyd,, is that you?
I'm just here for the 4-Sting ensemble. Its like watching his musical self-naughty time.
Yes, Rick brought me here too. Amazing, beautiful!
Such joyful music making!
Stunning
Edin your a beast on the lute!
Extraordinary !!!
Music Appreciation 101 brought me here.
There's so much positive energy in this song and this performance!
Very Impressive
I love this album.
AMAZING!
I'm came from the Renaissance era Nenamorut , I found the performance of Edin Karamazov and Sting were fabulous ! Maestro Dowland was excited with their interpretation !
he said it himself?
Yeah, he told me too !
Edin Karamazov & Sting the best team.
Let's not be critical, the lutanist is brilliant and Sting does a very nice job of this; it's fun to listen to and musically pleasing to boot !
Often called "The Earl Of Essex's Gaillard" and associated with Robert Deveraux, Second Earl of Essex, who started as Queen's favorite but ended up executed for high treason.
Love sting!
Perfection ❣️ 🎵🎶
Download met Sting voice on the cloud with great thankfull. Bravo String and Edin.
Ух! Как же здорово! И Стинг прекрасен, и Карамазов потрясающий!!!!!! Greetings from Russia!:)
Спасибо. Приветствие из Западной Европы. Astrid.
Astrid, you have beautiful name!!:)
Thank you : )
СОГЛАСНА !!!!
Damn Barney's got some pipes.
Wonderfull!!!
*extremely impact font voice* THIS IS WHAT IT WAS LIKE WHAT IT WAS LIKE IN MEDEIVAL TIMES
I agree, more relaxed, natural :)
very nice!
All I want to say to Sting is don't stop moving in this direction.
This Karamazov brother is a virtuoso
wunderbares Video 🤍
The variations... ( probably wrong word) in this piece are. .. AMAZING!
Elizabeths I favorite hit, she loved to dance the floor with Robert dudley...spin me robin ,,,,
To any of the music snobs out there, please forget telling sting what he should or shouldn't sing! Sting is an incredibly talented musician that can sing in whatever genre he chooses to , so just accept that he's a genius!
i'm a classically-trained musician so I guess i'm supposed to be a music snob :p but honestly, i like this! they clearly put a ton of work and love and talent into this project, and it's refreshing and fun to hear new and unique versions of early-music masterpieces :-)
BRAVO MARK, YOU TOUGHT THEM A LESSON !
@@liftflowthrive BRAVO! WISE WORD FROM A PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN !
This, well, it ROCKS.
Sting Quartet. ;]
you killed everyone with this Sting. R beato!
Fabulous
Sting is great but this Edin Karamazov is from other planet.
He is.
That lute solo!
2023. This is greatest performance of thus song that I vever heard
Strepitoso! as the Italians say. A truly brilliant performance! Thank you so much for posting.
You are welcome.
In effetti: strepitoso
this is absolutely fantastic
Can she excuse my wrongs with Virtue's cloak? Shall I call her good when she proves unkind? Are those clear fires which vanish into smoke? Must I praise the leaves where no fruit I find? No no: where shadows do for bodies stand, Thou may'st be abus'd if thy sight be dim. Cold love is like to words written on sand, Or to bubbles which on the water swim. Wilt thou be thus abused still, Seeing that she will right thee never? If thou canst not o'ercome her will The love will be thus fruitless ever
Thanks for lyrics!
Kneel down and all hail Sting - the God of song.
Great music.
Agreed. Astrid.
@voluspa /astrid thank you. Rick Beato drove me here also. I think my granddaughter will love the new music she hears today!
Glad that you liked it and you are welcome. Astrid .
Adorable
