The appearance of the first prints with instructions for playing the lute in England during the 1560's coincides with the youth and education of some of the first professional native lutenists. John Johnson and Anthony Holborne share lots in common in their music (and probably career) and at the same time reveal very individual styles and approach to the instrument. Both served at the Royal Court, where lute music played a major part of the musical activities.
This new recording contains a fine selection of dances, such as the Pavan and Galliard, as well as fantasies and variations on popular songs, such as the Carman's Whistle and "Heigh, ho, holiday" (an all time favourite apparently).
Young Bulgarian Yavor Genov counts among the most prominent among his generation, he played at important Festivals and venues and already made two highly acclaimed recordings for Brilliant Classics, with music by Zamboni and Kapsberger: "Genov promises to be a force to reckon with in the lute world" (International Record Review).
