ARTS: Music: 'Sting' to release album of lute music

Sting has sold 105 million albums to date - the next one, by his own admission - may be an aquired taste. It's his rendition of 16th century lute songs written by the reknowned Elizabethan musician, John Dowland. Hugely popular in his day, Dowland died in 1626. Now Sting is bringing his music to the masses once again with the album, The Labrinth. He learned to play the lute with a modern-day master from Sarajevo
