A very hypnotic piece of music; I imagine much credit needs to be given to the player for bringing the potential it has to life.

A dense web of notes beautifully navigated. And the lute looks nicely shabby, as most lutes would have in those days, after a few years of devoted service.

I have the CDs with all Bach's lute production performed by this super musician. I think this is one of the best versions ever, and I am very grateful to have the possibility of also seeing it. Thanks for posting.

He is not playing an arch lute though...

He didn't write many songs and he composed a lot more pieces than 600!

There is a strap. It's just very thin.

Great! Lovely. I used to play lute in a Chamber Ensamble, we were two lutes playing some Renaissance music.Tempo is an issue these days because people want to show up their technique, but music is an art, nothing to do with technique (eventhough it helps a lot) and running. The tempo here is just perfect.

The fancy hand carved sound hole is called a rose and is on pretty all European lutes. Traditionally they depict Arabian designs.

No tempo marking. Just marked prelude, meaning introduction.
