	Sting switches strings
		Sting (born 1951) is renowned for such cheerful tracks as So Lonely, King of Pain and Bring on the Night.
		Sting was encouraged to attempt the songs by a close friend, the French classical pianist Katia Labeque and is accompanied on the album by the Sarajevo lutenist Edin Karamazov, an interpreter of virtuosic authenticity.
		Sting gets the notes approximately right and conveys the colour with genuine feeling but a background in rock has ruined his breathing and he is unable to master the line of a work, let alone allow it to arch across a long phrase.

		Sting may be a bona fide rock star, but he's had to deal with his fair share of family strife.
		We're in Sting's duplex apartment overlooking Central Park, and he is attempting to explain his invasion of the world of early music and whether it's appropriate for a pop singer to tackle Dowland.
		Sting was introduced to Dowland's music in 1982, but it wasn't until more than a decade later that he joined pianist Katia Labeque in a few informal performances of Dowland's 'Come, Heavy Sleep', 'Can She Excuse My Wrongs?' and 'Fine Knack for Ladies', all of which appear on the new album with Mr.

		Sting had been playing in a fusion jazz band when he was spotted by drummer Stewart Copeland and recruited into the Police, so it's hardly surprising that his first post-Police project would be built around jazz musicians.

	Sting in Concert
		Sting's progression as a songwriter was a fascinating step-by-step evolution from writing lightweight, wry songs about prostitutes and the seeming baby-babble of "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" to weightier political topics influenced by philosopher Arthur Koestler (on Ghost In The Machine) and Swiss psychologist Carl Jung (Synchronicity).
		Sting's incorporation of such players indicated how the former fusioneer had come to feel hemmed in the Police's guitar/bass/drums trio format; while most of the band's later albums were marvelously textured, the Blue Turtles line-up was able to provide an even more varied musical context for Sting's increasingly sophisticated compositions.
		Sting continued to explore his solo vision with Sacred Love, released in the fall of 2003.

		Sting hooked up with one of the world's true lute virtuosos, Edin Karamazov, for the difficult task of embodying the man the singer calls "the first alienated singer/songwriter." Karamazov's playing is simply sublime, elevated, transcendent throughout the record.
		Sting has always dabbled outside the rock and pop realms, but a trip four centuries into the past is well beyond even his typically loose boundaries.

		Early music buffs may be put off by Sting's smoky voice mouthing the lyrics, but given the wonderful appeal of Dowland, it can be pleasant to hear vocals with echoes of the tavern and the boudoir in music from an era enthusiastic about both venues.
		Sting gives it his best, and when his voice breaks into a rocker's loud, missed note, it's a reminder that these are not museum pieces.
		The success of Hot Fuss clearly went to singer Brandon Flowers' head as he's been quoted saying this follow-up would be one of the best albums of the last 20 years.
