Dowland: A Fancy

The first notes of the descending chromatic theme break the silence and it seems as if time has stopped. The listener is drawn into the world of John Dowland, the greatest lutenist of all, in a journey through multiple shades of melancholy and lucent hope. Never before had the lute sounded as expressive and colourful as in these masterful 'Fancies', as dynamic as in these sparkling 'Dances'. Renaissance lute music here reached its summit. Bor Zuljan explores these qualities in this recording, breathing new life into Dowland's masterpieces.
