Review:
A delight
This is a cracking disc. It’s a collection of Baroque lute pieces
by three of the finest composers for the instrument, all excellently
played.
The music itself is
a delight. Bach, Weiss and Baron were all great composers for the
lute and this forms a pleasingly varied collection of solo pieces and
duets with recorder and with harpsichord, all of which work
excellently here. This is due to the fine playing of the excellent
musicians; Wolf is a very fine lutenist, I already love Dorothee
Oberlinger’s work and the others are just as good. If I have a
tiny criticism it is that Wolf slightly overdoes the rubato and
emphatic phrasing occasionally, but that’s personal taste –
overall it’s a pleasure from start to finish. It’s beautifully
recorded and I can recommend this disc very warmly.
