"His technique is faultless...All this, together with the fine sound and excellent notes, make these Dowland discs some of the most attractive available."
BBC Music Magazine
"O'Dette is equally at home with these introspective works as he is with Dowland's more exuberant dances, where his playing really takes wings. His technique is faultless...All this, together with the fine sound and excellent notes, make these Dowland discs some of the most attractive available."
BBC Music Magazine (on Vol 3)
"Most refreshing is his imaginative interpretation of the notes on the page: playing with the intuitive freedom of a jazz musician, O'Dette really captures the improvisatory spirit of Dowland's age." BBC Music Magazine 5 star (on Vol 1)
"Here is a reference work par excellence."
Classical Guitar
"[In this recording O'Dette uses] a recently manufactured 8-course lute, The sound he draws from its strings is magnificently rich and nuanced, and the performances he gives of these 21 selections (including Semper Dowland, Semper Dolens) are sensitive in the extreme. One is instantly drawn into Dowland's world by O'Dette's playing, captivated at once by the beauty of its sound and the range of emotion it conveys."
