Brian Asawa - The Dark Is My Delight And Other 16th Century Lute Songs / Tayler Reviews
| 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful  Mischievous and Bewitching, By This review is from: Brian Asawa - The Dark Is My Delight And Other 16th Century Lute Songs / Tayler (Audio CD) Brian Asawa's voice is distinctive and that has not always worked to his advantage. There is no danger of confusing him with any other countertenor. In tone and quality he ranks with Scholl and Daniels and perhaps has a more fluid command of the higher notes. In this CD, he performs songs from the traditional countertenor repertoire with considerable freshness, spirit and humor. These are the popular hit songs of Shakespeare's era and while we don't know the details of how they were performed I like what Brian has done with these songs. 6 of 8 people found the following review helpful HEAVEN!!!, By A Customer This review is from: Brian Asawa - The Dark Is My Delight And Other 16th Century Lute Songs / Tayler (Audio CD) When you start the CD and sit back you will literally think you have died and gone to heaven! Brian Asawa is heaven on Earth!If you have not heard anything from Brian, you are in for an extraordinary treat. Brian's voice is an incredible gift that every person should be exposed to. "The Dark is My Delight" is a wonderful display of Brian's range and vocal gifts. A collection of mostly 14th Century lute songs, it is a perfect subject for Brian's unique voice. "Come Again, Sweet Love" is a perfect opening song as it gives you his full range and style. In the beginning you cannot believe that this sweet, melodious voice can be coming from a human, muchless a male. You'll be thinking that throughout this wonderful CD. There are few CDs that are so extraordinary but then again this is Brian's first CD. EVERYONE should listen and expose themselves to Brian Asawa's talents. He can only be looked upon as a rising countertenor star soon to be at...

It's passionless.Thankfully I bought this CD used for only $9.99 CDN. Regretably, I will likely be selling it back to the used CD store from which it came. Daniel Taylor and James Bowman's Love Bade me Welcome would be a much better selection, i bought it new and its worth every cent! |
