A Fancy P6 by John Dowland for solo lute recorded in Duvbo Church, Sweden, March 2021, for BIS Records. Producer/sound engineer Matthias Spitzbarth. Video edited by Liam Byrne.

This is part of the album LESSONS featuring solo music by John Dowland, to be released on BIS Records May 6 2022.

In English Renaissance collections of music, the term ‘lessons’ is often used to describe instrumental pieces, even though they aren’t pedagogical exercises as such. But as Jonas Nordberg writes in an introduction to his new disc ‘there remains much in them to be studied’. John Dowland is one of the composers whose music was a driving force of the Early Music revival already at the beginning of the 20th century. He has also played a central role in the rediscovery of the lute itself, an ongoing process which began more than a hundred years ago.

Like many other musicians, Jonas Nordberg is continuously exploring the intimate relationship between a score and the instrument it was written for: ‘The pieces by Dowland on this album contain an entire musical universe, in which I have spent many years, discovering new layers of meaning. In that way these lessons – in combination with the instrument on which I play them – have also been my teachers. So it is a great pleasure to invite you to share them with me, and to explore for yourselves the rich combination of melancholy, joy and beauty to be found in these works.’

Brilliant--one feels in the presence of Dowland as he improvises!

Я глубоко восхищаюсь вашим мастерством, вашим певучим звуком, как вы добиваетесь такого волшебства, что он имеет такую продолжительность в пространстве вопреки законам физики.Лютня божественна! И большая благодарность оператору, снимавшему видео, за чудесные ракурсы, которые позволили рассмотреть струны, и сам инструмент! 🤗🌹❤️

Would you post a baroque guitar piece, if I could my initial thought would be to request b.w.v. 1000/1001 and perhaps more leaning towards the Bream arrangement. I personally think you would do an excellent job interpreting it - great video

Since the first time I watched your video I wanna date only a guy who can play theorbo, but I didn't find any. What should I do? 😩

I feel like this is too fast. Very well played though. I'm just polishing this piece off right now.
