Sting & Medieval Music

I guess technically, it's "Sting & Elizabethan Music".

The show on PBS was about his new release, Songs From the Labyrinth, where he and lutenist Edin Karamazov perform songs by John Dowland.

I like Sting ok, and am a fan of OLD-school music, but the combination was strange.

Did anyone else see this or hear the album?

since I am the nerd yes I have heard the album on a live stream and I thinks it's fuckng amazing but I studied classical guitar for years so this is right up my alley

I missed the special but I'm sure it will be out on dvd before to long and I'll get it on netflix

i think the fact that sting's voice was so identifiable is what was throwing me off.

i love ancient choral and instrumental music like that, but it is so obviously sting, it kept focusing on that.

they can come across a little gimmicky, a little goth, but their records are amazing. i have their first three records; they're all good, but the first is my favorite.

Saw them, met them, love them.

And anything Sting does has got to be self-indulgent crap.
