From 1598 to 1606 Dowland entered the service of Christian IV of Denmark as court lutenist. Having had the opportunity to go to England both for the musical needs of the court and "on his own account," he stayed in London from the summer of 1603 to the summer of 1604. During this stay he published Lachrimae or Seaven Teares (1604), a collection he dedicated to Anne of Denmark, sister of Christian IV and, since 1589, wife of the new king, James I.

A specialist in 16th-century keyboard repertoire, Falcone revives these celebrated masterpieces, highlighting the wealth of their contrasting shades in a recording rich in contrasting colours, enhanced by the use of the famous Johannes Ruckers harpsichord (1632/1745) preserved at the Musee d'art et d'histoire in Neuchatel.

Alfred Schnittke and Arvo Pärt have both called the Ukrainian Valentyn Silvestrov "one of the greatest composers of our time”. He is also one of its true originals; though a leading figure in the former Soviet Union’s avant-garde in the 1960s, he subsequently came to realise that "the most important lesson of the avant-garde was to be free of all preconceived ideas – particularly those of the avant-garde. Over time, Silvestrov’s compositional practice evolved into what he would come to call his "metaphorical style" or "meta-music". The composer wishes his works to be seen as "codas" to musical history: "I do not write new music. My music is a response to and an echo of what already exists".

The Missa Ave Maris Stella, with its lyrically reverential mood and long duo and trio passages, is among Josquin Desprez's most popular masses, and the listener can choose from among recordings by top Renaissance a cappella vocal groups. This one by the Netherlands ensemble Cappella Pratensis presents itself as hyperauthentic. Backed by a booklet essay from Josquin specialist Jennifer Bloxam, the group purports to re-create the practices, discourse, and atmosphere that would have attended a performance of the mass in the papal chapel around the year 1500.
