Ennemond Gaultier (1575-1651), also known as Le Vieux Gaultier or Gaultier de Lyon Gigue in D minor, La Poste Played by Antoine Pansera Audio and Video by René Paradis Instrument: 13 course Baroque Lute by Cezar Mateus
Thank you very much Vienna Lute! And honestly I find that it's a pretty big lute for playing French repertoire... incidentally on my other 13 courses (which is a bass rider), the extension broke recently. At first I was scandalized but I toyed with the idea of leaving it like this in 11 courses without extension, just readjusting the nuts/saddle and using it exclusively for the French repertoire. To be continued... Have a nice day!
Merci beaucoup pour avoir pris le temps d'écouter! C'est vrai que je réalise avoir principalement joué du Vieux Gaultier uniquement ses morceaux connus (Tombeau de Mésangeau, Canaries, Chaconne en Do, ...), ça mérite de creuser un peu plus loin car il y a vraiment des pièces superbes et rarement jouées. Bon week-end, 🙂
Thanks Doctor7! By the way I saw your recent update on the Sugar string following your video from a couple of months ago. I love most of the Aquila products (Nylgut is used on most of the courses in this video), but unfortunately Sugar strings have just too many issues : intonation, squeak, breakage... Cheers!
