- Solo lute recital by Thomas Dunford in Wigmore Hall on 20th April 2017
Thomas Dunford lute
A wealth of critical superlatives bear witness to Thomas Dunford’s star status. His debut disc prompted BBC Music Magazine to describe him as ‘the Eric Clapton of the lute’.
Following studies at the Paris Conservatoire and Schola Cantorum in Basel, his career has gathered momentum in company with many of the world’s leading Early Music ensembles and soloists. Dunford’s Wigmore Hall solo debut places Dowland’s highly charged works at the core of a captivating programme of Renaissance showpieces.

I'm not, I'm from the future.....but good luck!!!
No. COVID is over. Stop mentioning it
quelle profondeur et quelle délicatesse... merveilleux interprète d'un de ces immenses compositeurs de cette époque baroque qui restera à jamais inégalée... quelle leçon de spiritualité pour notre époque de violence, de barbarie et d'indécence, dont la seule vertu est la redécouverte et la diffusion de ces trésors...
So incredibly moving and thought provoking. The instrument(s), player and composers. We must slow down and listen more often to meaningful happenings such as this in our chaotic lives. Beautiful music from centuries ago resonates today. What does this tell us about ourselves? 🥰
thank god young people are still interested in the lute and ye olde music. It's just sublime.
oh us be!
It's funny how there are ony 12 notes and that each second lasts the same. That's what they tell us, but a master like Mr Dunford suspends all disbelief. An absolute master, this young man.
This young man is already master of his art.
I quite agree with your call on his abilities: he surely started at an early age, along w\a gift for string instruments.
I discovered the sound of the lute in my 20s, I'm now 78 and followed the lute for 50+ yrs, and lucky enough to hear the development of people such as Robert Barto.

Thomas - thank you so much for all your many years of study and all the hard work you put into practicing so we could all enjoy this sublimely wonderful performance.
Always the best friend to listen when I paint... Thomas sounds like reflexions of the most divine music.
The wonderful sound of this instrument with the maestria of Thomas for one of my favourite English composers.
What incredible music, and music making. It's like entering a lost world.
Really wonderful!
Remarquable musicien ! interprète incontournable ! quel son ! et phrasé, avec une technique sans reproche! bravo !
I cannot stop listening to this. You play wonderfully. Thank you so, so much for a great performance.
Absolutely superb and inspiring in every way! Bravo!
Quelle sonorité!Quelle interprétation!Quelle virtuosité!Quel jeu aérien et fluide sans bruit parasite'Quel bon choix de compositeurs!Bien sûr John Dowland le grand melodiste précurseur du grand Bach.Encore bravo Thomas.Je découvre ton talent immense.....
as a blues guitarist i have to say this is brilliant.
Prefiero expresarlo en mi idioma, porque además de bello, mis ideas fluyen mejor. Felicidades Thomas, eres un enorme intérprete del laúd. Dowland, si viviera, te compondría música para que tú la estrenaras. Además, e igualmente importante, eres una persona que se "ve" sencilla, humilde y decente, lo cual en ese medio frívolo, materialista y vanidoso de la llamada Música Clásica, es verdaderamente todo un logro. Enhorabuena joven portento. Que sigan más y más éxitos.
Bien dicho, caballero!
No se pudo haber expresado con más claridad Sr. Así es!
Ça a plus de 500 ans et heureusement il y a des virtuoses qui nous les font partager
Merci 1000 fois
It feels so perfectly natural to hear Clapton's music seamlessly integrating into Dowland's that one really has no excuse but to acknowledge music flows regardless of any distinction of genre and time. It's the same mysterious dynamic that carries and ties together life 's joyful and melancholy moments. Some may call it destiny or fate. For me, it's just the unpredictable and yet secretly related brighter and darker hours of existence.
I couldn't understand your Eric Clapton reference until I watched until the final piece from this glorious concert.
It was a lovely touch to connect the classical lute to the modern, bare bone equivalent - i.e. the 6 string guitar!
And Mr Dunford's nickname is also Slow Hand.
Merveilleuse interprétation de 'Fortune' , toute en finesse, musicalité, légèreté, inventivité. Chaque nouvelle phrase est incertaine, aventureuse, nouvelle, comme le chemin de la vie...
Merci, et encore merci pour le plaisir que vous me donnez…
D'une douceur et d'une beauté absolue ...
Thank you Thomas for taking us to a timeless and wondrously beautiful atmosphere of singing strings. You are refreshing and sensitive to the soul of our existence. Thank you for heart felt musical interpretations!
Thanks Alan for introducing me to Thomas and his amazing gift of music on the lute!
Hi Don -- you are most welcome. I think Thomas gave me an extra 10 years of happy life! (As have you!)
The amazing staying power of this music! Could anyone from the Renaissance period have ever imagined it might be so? You couldn’t blame them if they did.
What an unexpected treat at the end!
I listened to their performance in Tokyo.
It was wonderful!
Impressed, there is only that word.
Very well played, greatly enjoyed this.
My dad used to play simplified versions of some of these tunes on his lute, as I lay listening as a child...
Yes. Listening still.
I enjoy hearing you solo and with Iestyn Davies.
Il mérite d'être mondialement reconnu GRAND MUSICIEN
Beautiful recording in a beautiful hall. Absolutely fantastic
stunning.
merci et bravo Monsieur Dunford
Worth staying up until four in the morning and find this by chance on CZcams. What gorgeous musical talent.
Well done !
sublime comme toujours.. combien faut il former de luthistes pour avoir une étoile montante comme le jeune thomas dunford!!!!une telle merveille d'intelligence et de sensibilité ...nous rends optimiste pour la pratique dans l 'avenir et la diffusion plus large de ces instruments delicats( redécouverts dans la deuxieme moitié du siecle20) bravo aussi à ceux qui ont formé ces jeunes talents mrs perny dijon
stunning
Cette petite merveille interprétée avec maestria est un régal
You play so wonderfully and filled my soul with such a gladness ! Thankful greetings from Bulgaria !
Utterly captivating! What a delight... thank you for this gift.
Fills and soothes mind, body, and spirit.
une magnifique sensibilité alliée à une grande maîtrise
Ah... Dowland, the great. And this huge talented young artist. Thumbs up. Hat off...
Fantastic.....was quite moved by your performance
Beautiful meditative music and mesmerizing interpretation. Thank you, Maestro
Thanks Maestro for sharing this ancient beautiful music of 17th century!! Excellent rendition!
Your interpretation of Calate ala spagnola
is amazing ! I can't stop repeating it.
Quite impressive, talent and exercise combined, it leaves me speechless.
Superbly worked out set of Renaissance and Baroque Lute playing ! Enjoyed very much !
Juste très beau…!
Melancholy Galliard... absolutely sublime. Every time I listen to it, tears come to my eyes
bravo bravo bravo et encore bravo Thomas !
Beautiful!
Magnifique! I was in your concert in Barcelona, last January. It was wonderful. Merci beaucoup pour votre art 🙏🙏
Superbe ! Très, très beau ! Quel son ! Quelle virtuosité ! Quelle subtilité ! Quelle créativité ! On lève les deux pouces ! Que de chemin parcouru depuis ses déjà très beaux débuts auxquels j'ai assisté à Paris à une réunion de la Société Française de Luth ...
Le luth est à la hauteur ; un Paul Thomson ! J'ai la même rosace (compter un bon supplément pour l'avoir ... tant elle est complexe) sur un excellent Stephen Murphy.
Je l'ai obtenue pour me rapprocher du luth (parmi ses si nombreux instruments) fétiche de Paul O'dette en 8 choeurs de l'époque : également un Paul Thomson.
Compter sans doute cinq années d'attente pour en avoir un sur commande, j'imagine ...
Tel père, tel fils ... avec des cordes différentes à leurs arcs ...
La dynastie (musicale) des Dunford est très, très belle !
MAJESTUOSO!!
MARAVILLOSO!!
Melodía Celestial. 🙏🙏🙏💕
Genial laudista, El final "Tears in heaven" increíble. Bravísimo. Muchas gracias.
Es un placer escuchar a un músico tan prodigioso. Gracias por darnos el usto de escucharle. Desde Coyoacán moreno, México
Bravo Thomas, veramente bravo!!
So unutterably beautiful.
I find it a bit amusing that the right hand technique of the lute is so different from that of the classical guitar. Playing fast scales with _p_ and _i_ and treating _i_ similar to a plectrum is counter-intuitive to a classical guitarist, like myself, but I reckon it is a prerequisite for this unique phrasing that lutenists produce. Not to mention their lack of extended nails, which produces a smoother timbre. Having played some of these pieces on the classical guitar, they sound quite different from renditions such as this.
Yes the technique is quite different and his finger movements, from the perspective of a lutenist, are flawless. I am just amazed to see it on camera; it is like everything the teachers tell you to do, but executed in real time before one's eyes.
Thomas is a fantastic lute player. Great tone, fluidity and phrasing
Fantastic rendition of Calata ala Sagnola!... wonderful stuff!... well done!
Sí, señor. Un gran laudista, con interpretaciones muy originales. Además, con un sonido potente y bello. Exquisito.
just too good, excellent indeed, thank you!
Absolutely marvellous !
Quel talent !!
Magnifique...thank you for your talent !
This Lute is a star, too; and, as such, it leaves one to wonder by whom it was wrought?
Beautiful tone!
What an incredible artist !
I was very moved by this performance
Beautiful video too
Thanks for sharing !
Thank you for sharing! Brilliant playing and beautiful to listen&watch together..🙌❤
Great lutenist. Several of the pieces are well known in the lute world. His performance is among the top the lute players, and he is very young.
The counter-tenor is a new one for me. Beautiful voice.
Una auténtica maravilla. Hay que seguir de cerca a Dunford
Merci pour ce jolie voyage Thomas. ;-)
Exquisita técnica y mucha verdad y delicadeza en la interpretación. Gran laudista.
Un concierto bellísimo. Thomas Dunford es la primera referencia internacional de los instrumentos antiguos de cuerda pulsada.
Wonderful !! Thank you very much and BRAVO !
Super concert Thomas, congrats for your work!
Cool
Fantastic performance! Bravo!
Very athletic playing, love it
superbe dompter un tel instrument n'est pas simple
Wunderschön!!
So well played ... Thank you "the Wigmore Hall" ...for this .. :)
Fantástico
Woorden schieten tekort voor dit prachtige spel! Subliem!!
Que exquisito!
Grande liutista....tocco magico e tanto talento!
MAGNIFIQUES MOMENTS !
So wonderful!
I would be happy to visit this concert! Wonderful atmosphere, excellent performance!
Wonderful!
This is a wonderful and incredible performance Thomas! Thnx, I really enjoy C17 melancholy music for lute🙂
Great performance Thomas! Although I started playing guitar with fantasies of performing slick glam-rock solos, I've developed a special love for the music of Dowland and spend more and more time learning his music arranged for guitar. I love that you included O Mia Barbara, which is one of my favourites.
36:41 is my favorite part of this whole beautiful thing
just wonderful !!!!!!
Impressive, and good sense of melancholy ...!!!
Il se dégage une telle sérénité de cette musique que cela purifie l'âme.
