Named Gramophone’s One to Watch and winner of the 2022 International Handel Singing Competition, Alexander Chance makes his recording debut on Linn. Drop not, mine eyes is a recital of English lute songs that soaks up the zeitgeist of the past couple of years to create a programme full of melancholic works by Dowland, Campion, Danyel, Purcell and others. If the ever-popular Dowland was readily prone to sadness, as exemplified by the pair I saw my lady weep and Flow, my tears, or indeed In darkness let me dwell, the polymath Thomas Campion favoured a more sober style, as shown in I care not for these ladies. Thomas Ford displays his more profane side here with Fair, sweet, cruel and What then is love. When it comes to melancholy, John Danyel’s Grief, keep within and Drop not, mine eyes are every bit as good as Dowland. The programme closes with Purcell, the other English Orpheus. Toby Carr provides sympathetic accompaniment on lute and theorbo.

Sublime !
I can listen to that voice over and over again! I’m already a fangirl of the vocalist’s father, Michael Chance! Alex is my second favorite countertenor!
Brilliant

Simply fantastic!
By god this is beautiful.
Also first.
4 Comments, 3 of them by myself.
287 views (~5 by me), after 2 months mind you, is worthy of a criminal offense.
I simply cannot believe I am the only one listening to this!
In case anyone else sees this: Mr. Chance is the Falsetto, Mr. Carr the Lute.
Uninstinctual imo, I'd have gone from left to right.
186 views? By God, there should be laws mandating a thorough listen.
I HAVE to reiterate, the production quality is in no relation to the viewcount. Criminal.
