Title: Baroque Lute Music, Volume I: Kapsberger
Review: This amazingly inexpensive recording isexcellent and beautifully clear. Paul O'Dette issuperb as usual. Here he plays the chitarrone(also called the theorbo): a wonderful,deep-voiced stringed instrument (rather like avery long necked lute). On some pieces heplays the ten-course lute. Mr. O'Dette has avery fine musical ability and he also haswritten knowledgeably about the music in theaccompanying booklet. The music of GiovanniGirolamo Kapsberger is certainly overdue forrevival, as is the sound of these earlierinstruments. This delightful recording iswelcome indeed.
