Guitarist and lutenist Eden Karamazov is noted for his wide variety of collaborations with top early music ensembles, singers, and even the rock vocalist Sting. A breakthrough for Karamazov came in 1998 when he substituted for an ailing Julian Bream. He backed superstar countertenor Andreas Scholl on the 2001 album Wayfaring Stranger, and in 2007, he was heard with Sting on The Journey and the Labyrinth, an album of Dowland's lute music with a dramatic concept that was later developed into a film. In 2021, Karamazov accompanied recorder player Dorothee Oberlinger on the Harmonia Mundi album Dialoge: Johann Sebastian Bach. Karamazov still sometimes plays the lute on the street, a habit he began during his student years.
