The Hilliard Ensemble made an album in the late 70s, I think, of
various songs, including lute songs with original pronounciation -
probably at the more extreme end of possibilities.
To my ear, Dowland's "Now oh now I needs must part" sounded like "Nay
oh nay oi needs moost pairt" - a bit disconcerting but very
interesting.

Interesting video on how Shakespeare might have been pronounced circa
1600. It would be interesting to see a similar approach to English
lute
songs.
