Ian Bostridge is an artist with a longstanding international career as soloist, as an opera star and now as a writer (his A Singers Notebook was voted one of The Independent's Books of the Year).
Lutenist and composer John Dowland epitomises the spirit of melancholy,so fashionable in the Elizabethan period.
