John Dowland Lachrimae-Flow my Tears. Göran Söllscher guitar

[@evelynpo7033]

One of my favorite composers. This is perfect for guitar. It delivers the intimacy of this piece and transports one into centuries past. Beautiful.

[@Per-Olovkindgren]

Dear Göran. This is also my favorite piece by Dowland! I played it for Per-Olof when applying for the Academy in 1976. This piece has meant a lot in my professional and personal life. When my former girlfriend in Miami heard me play it on YT, she called me saying she loved me. :-) (What music can do, eh?) Bach? - Dowland?... I love them both. And when I hear you play Dowland this beautifully, I prefer his music... until I hear you play Bach! 🙂Tack min vän! En djup upplevelse! Sköt om dig! Peo 🎸

Now I really miss the Greensleeves album......my CD disintegrated a few years back, and I couldn't get it replaced as that CD is really difficult to get. Glad to hear this piece. Thank you very much Mr Sollscher.

You are so talented

[@goransollscher1730]

Thanks 🎵

[@gavinw5469]

I wouldn't say it's just talent. It's probably just hard work and dedication. Göran has practiced a few hours each day since he was 6. Let's say it was 2 hours each day. Multiply that by 365, and then you have 730 hours each year. Goran is 66, and we subtract 6 from 66 and we have 60 years. Multiply that by 730, and we have 43800 hours of just practice. This is just an approximation, but you get the idea. There are 1825 days in 43800 hours, and 5 years of 1825. So that means that Göran has 5 years of just practice time. It's insane.

[@jesseknowles2725]

Your art has been had a profound effect of my view of preclassical guitar performance since your first recording on the Bolin guitar was released in the late 70's. Your DG Bach recording (early 80's) is a point of reference in the history of recordings of Bach's lute music. I still have the "Werke für Solo-Instrumente" DG volume release in like-new condition. Is this the same guitar? Your beautiful tone on this instrument hasn't changed. THANK YOU.
