Dowland, A Fancy, on lute and orpharion

Bor Zuljan is active in different musical genres, playing many kinds of early, modern and traditional plucked-string instruments. Called the 'Revolutionary of the lute' (Le Soir), he specialises particularly in the music of the Renaissance, rediscovering forgotten improvisation and playing techniques, instruments and sounds.

He performs regularly as a soloist and with ensembles such as Tasto Solo, Graindelavoix, L'Achéron, Vox Luminis, Il Giardino Armonico, Le Concert Brisé, in duo with Dusan Bogdanovic, with Romain Bockler (Dulces Exuviae) as well as with his ensemble La Lyra.

A renowned Dowland interpreter, he is also a pioneer in recovering lost musical sound worlds, including that of the metal-strung orpharion, very popular in Dowland's day but only now being revived. Here he plays both lute and orpharion.
