Peter Croton & L'Isola

Time Stands Still

Songs of John Dowland and his contemporaries

Time Stands Still
‘Time stands still’, by John Dowland (1603), is emblematic of the sense of wonder we feel when encountering pure, often unattainable beauty. This suspension of time is also strived for in musical performance – as described in the 16th century, the goal is to transport listeners “into so pleasurable a melancholy that … they remain deprived of all senses save that of hearing …”.

Celebrated versatile lutenist Peter Croton, “lyric poet of the lute”, is joined by L’Isola Ensemble to transport listeners into a timeless journey through English & Italian music from the early 17th century.
