Title: An Exquisite Performance of Rare Lute Pieces
Product review: Hagen's Solo Works for Lute is virtually unknown music from the 18th century, written by lutenist and violinist of the Bayreuth court, Joachim Bernhard Hagen (1720-1787). This is a 72-minute Naxos recording with excerpts taken from the Augsburg Manuscript which can be heard in an exquisite and definitive performance by equally unknown brilliant lutenist Robert Barto. With the highest musical expertise and taste, Barto seems to be specializing in historical performances. His recordings are an absolute delight to hear; e.g. try Weiss' complete sonatas on 10 CDs played by him.
