Tune in to #radiocapish

for “Baroque Mondays: at the court of the Capish King” today we present the seven pavans that John Dowland (1563 - 1626) published in 1604 under the title Lachrimae or Seaven Teares Figured in Seaven Passionate Pavans, which are written as variations on the theme of "Flow my tears" from four years earlier.
The recording, performed in May 1987 at Santa Maria de Sant Martí Sarroca in Catalonia by Jordi Savall with the ensemble Hesperion XXI (then Hesperion XX), can undoubtedly be regarded as one of the best available.

Enjoy listening.
