Query: Is this CD a joke?

What on earth was "Sting" thinking when he decided to pursue these classic songs of Dowland? How arrogant of him to think that his high status among the (low brow) world of pop somehow entitles him to pursue true music. Having listened for years to glorious renditions of Dowland songs from world-class counter tenors I wept tears of sadness listening to the symbol of the demise of culture that is this album.But, then again, perhaps it will encourage fans of Sting to pursue better recordings of Dowland songs. That can only be good thing, I suppose.Absolutely disturbing....
