Which brings me to the point that you and others (among them another voice to fall in love with - Sara Stowe) made a CD "Great Music from the Court of Elisabeth I" which became to my favorite of the last year with music of Dowland, Allison, William Byrd and others.
A CD which should be in the collection of every early music lover.
