Review:
An excellent disc
This is yet another excellent disc from the great Nigel
North. It is the second in a projected
series of three discs of da Milano, nicknamed "Il Divino" with some
justification.
The music is lovely; a wide selection of pieces with a variety
of feel and atmosphere and all full of melodic and harmonic invention. North plays it beautifully, of course. He is one of the world's finest lutenists and
is completely at home here; I already have much-loved discs of da Milano by
both Paul O'Dette and Hopkinson Smith, and this is at least their equal. North's style and tone is perhaps a little
more mellow, which for me suits this music very well.
The recorded sound is excellent and this is a very fine disc
all round. Warmly recommended.
