Robert Ballard - Branles de Village - Lute - Luth 

Superbe interprétation du "Barde de notre coeur" avec une rare profondeur (je découvre des sonorités cachées). Bravo et merci pour le sourire de contentement naturel et compréhensif qui illumine le visage de l'artiste après une aussi belle prestation. Rog.

Exceptional work!

Bravo , c'est une merveille !!!!!

Thanks for the tuning note, I thought it was dropped to C but glad to have the confirmation as I'm just a beginner!

I like this piece - it's like party music for the lute. Well played and much enjoyed.

J'aime beaucoup, merci

Merci Rog ;-) c'est un grand classique dont je ne me lasse pas... V.

Grazie Maestro Val ,favoloso :) !!!!

Wow, VERY Nice! BRAVO! What a beautiful sound you get!

superbe merci

I liked the droning base throughout. I would guess that was used in part for dance? Tim

Great work, Valery, my friend. Sounds so clear and joyful. Congratulations!!!

Very interesting, It´s "happy sounding", i like it

You're right, very philosophical thought. And nice modulation... All the best ! Valéry

Hi Val... I like those Branle de Village pieces. I have some for 4 luths by Nicholas Vallet, i think... Guitarist Göran Söllscher played these and i got his transcription once. I loved to play them as duets... Per

Thank you ! Val.

Hello Val, this is the right piece for feeling the spring time! (at the end the minor part as a reminder not to get too enthusiastic about everyting...)

this is great

Hello Wilfried ;-) Thanks a lot ! All the best Val

You wrote the minor part? It is excellent.

Hello Tim, yes it is a serie of dances, branles danced in round. Last one a little bit different (and not often played) V.

This seems to be a difficult piece! Great playing!

Thanks a lot ;-) Best regards Val

Super tres jolie BRAVO

Hello ;-) Yes it is but here I play the fourth branle (not on the CD) Val

Thanks a lot ;-) Regards val

I hope music can make people happy ;-) Val

Hello Per-Olov, I played the quatuor by Vallet when at the academy, much fun but not easy to synchronize ! All the best Val

Merci Yom ! j'ai commencé le luth avec ces branles (les trois premiers qui sont assez faciles) Amitiés Val

Merci à vous ;-) Cordialement Valéry

Thanks a lot ;-) Val

No it is really not so difficult, the fourth is a little bit more than others but one of the first piece I learn when taking the lute ;-) Val

@chtiguitare Merci beaucoup ;-)

Thanks ;-) Val

Not bad at all :-)
