Flow, my tears, fall from your springs!
Exiled for ever, let me mourn;
Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings,
There let me live forlorn...

That made my world a little better. Thanks so much.
Your right hand technique is classically beautiful and produces
the”lilting “ tone that we love so much.💐
Thanks again for sharing your talent, and for introducing us to the company that provides these lovely instruments. All the best.

« Si le titre promet des larmes, invitées malvenues en ces temps de réjouissance, celles que pleure la Musique n’en sont pas moins agréables; d’ailleurs, les larmes ne sont pas toujours versées dans la douleur, car elles accompagnent parfois la joie et l’allégresse. »
John Dowland, préface de Lachrimae, 1604

Listening this piece with closed eyes... Tears are flowing...

Are you micing this with reverb or is that just it's natural resonance I'm hearing?

[necronorris]

Are the lutes from muzikkon pretty decent?

Beautiful playing Leva! I play classical guitar, and planning to take up the baroque lute. How do you manage finger nails for both guitar and lute, as lute players seem to keep them short?

My favorite Dowland piece :) Thank you so much for this performance.

В кои-то веки исполнительница и играет классно и одета прилично.

To paraphrase what was said of Dowland himself, "Her touch upon the lute doth ravish human sense."

(I found this video from your video of performing the Gasar Sanz "Canarios" — utterly delightful! :) )
