Album information
Bor Zuljan breathes new life into Dowland's masterpieces in his debut solo recording, which won a 2020 Diapason d'Or de l'année.
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.

Reviews
Joker Award: 'Bor Zuljan's technique, his boundless agility, is the antithesis of all preciosity. His technique is convincing above all by its intelligence, which draws out the sober grandeur and rhetoric of each expression.'
Crescendo
'Zuljan ... draws a range of colours and timbres — here limpid, there muted; he even seems to turn the lute into an exotic sounding Arabic oud at times.'
BBC Music Magazine
Recommended: '... he seems to be wholly ‘inside’ Dowland’s music ... so that at times it feels as though we are hearing it being created, rather than merely interpreted. The result is a decidedly auspicious debut.'
