Hi Trond, Very beautiful rendition, indeed! I always enjoy and appreciate your performances, thanks for uploading them. And, your new lute sounds wonderful, very pleasant deeper and more hushed tonality. That's the sound I'd like to have with my lute too. Take care.
Your new lute sounds great! I have recordeed the same piece on my channel 4 years ago with embellishments added, but I only have an 8c lute which forces to play some notes an octave up.
Really the most beautiful and relaxing interpretation I have ever heard. So Congratulations !!! Most players have a tendency to put forward a great pathos in the interpretation. Your playing is more beautiful and dreamlike, like a swann gliding on a pond ... Reminds me of the song " Deep peace " : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DRejYkJOYJM.html Same positive soothing effect ... So, really, great personal interpretation. I hope my 10 courses to come in August will sound as good as this " terrific ", excellent lute. Great thanks, indeed ! All the best, Roger
Dear Trond, the luthier is nor far from my home : www.murphylutes.com He made my 8 courses lute and vihuela. So, I should make a presentation of this lute within a few weeks, probably in August. We suffer from heat in South East France and it is hard to play music at the moment ... Should be better in september. All the best, see & hear you soon, Roger
I have been there once. Some years ago I rented a house in Beaumes de Venise. I stayed there for two weeks, drinking nice vines from the area around, Vaqueyras, Gigondas and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
