The Tears of Love project is a love story. Difficult, unrequited love, not without suffering, yet true and unconditional.
Love which will outlive everything. That is how John Dowland, an English composer, expresses it in his songs. John Dowland was a prominent Renaissances composer, and even though we are talking about a distant past, that Shakespearean approach is not lost to today’s lovers. We still love passionately, we argue, we are unfaithful and then come back to one another.
Because love can be turbulent and unpredictable, hopeless and ecstatic. It is not the exclusive domain of any one epoch: it simply was, is and will be. And John Dowland’s songs are just such. Brimming with emotions and romantism, broaching an unchangeably contemporary subject. And that is also why both classical singers such as Andreas Scholl as well as pop music stars such as Sting eagerly reach for them.
