Dear all, Since I see that the Sting threat is still on I will take the opportunity to tell my true and opinion about it. The question about Sting is very simple and obvious. He had the chance to record Dowland and had so much publicity and apparent success with it because he is STING . Erin Karamazov is a famous "lutenist" because he recorded with Andreas Scholl and Sting and not necessarily for his wonderful lute playing. If they would just be two unknown musicians that decided to record a Dowland CD they would had had very bad critics, we would not be talking about them right know and most of us, who know what good professional lute playing and singing is, would not resist the temptation to slyly laugh at such a horrendous and amateurish way of music making.
