• Pleasures and Torments is the title of this recording which is a performance where love’s pleasures and torments are portrayed with, at times, a seasoning of eroticism! This delightful programme features main works by Purcell and Bow with additional material from Matteis the elder. Johan Linderoth has worked with Paul Hillier’s Theatre of Voices and received high critical acclaim for his Dowland songs, whilst Vegard Lund has a stable of 20 plus lute recordings to his credit.
