Hi Daniel, I've ordered the CD but haven't heard it yet.
> I don't have access to the liner notes online. Is there any > historical precedent for a lute/mandolin pairing in the Baroque? I'm not aware of any specific pairing of Baroque (D-minor) lute with the mandolino, but archlute certainly. The Dalla Casa manuscript provides: - Suonata a Mandolino, e ArciLeuto obligati Del Sig. Antonio Tinazzoli - Two Concerti a Mandolino, e Baso del ArciLeuto Di Giuseppe Vaccari - Concerti a Mandolino, e Baso del ArciLeuto Di Lodvico Fontanelli - Suonata con Grave e suo Minuetto a Mandola e Baso -- del Arcileuto I also remember Ray Nurse telling me (years ago) that there was an archlute case (from the Dolmetsch collection?) that had a little space shaped to hold a mandolino.
