Linda Sayce has recorded only the enchanting Adagio (in a minor) from that C
Maj. sonata on Charivari Agreable's "Music for Gainsborough" disc.
(SIGCD026)
Somebody needs to noodge Earl Christy to record it.
Hey Earl! You listening?

Oops! my mistake about the key, I was thinking of a guitar transcriptions
I have of it in D major. I'm now looking at the Chantarelle facsimile
edition and it is indeed in C major. Same as the one Yepes recorded,
though. So nobody has recorded the C major on lute?

Hi,
where can one order this recording? I haven't been able to locate it
or previous message that mentioned it.
I have an old recording of the D major sonata played by Narciso Yepes
on guitar, I think he transposed it to E major for his 10 string. It
would be interesting to compare the two.

These pieces (and this composer) certainly stand out as high points
in lute repertoire. They represent such a strong break from the old
"baroque" lute idiom both stylistically and technically, that they
are a joy to play and to hear. They may well be the most difficult
lute pieces to play, well, ever. (excepting transcriptions of the
Mahler symphonies, of course.)
Mr Wilke's performance is the first I have heard and I found it
quite satisfying. His phrasing and voicing choices were very
appropriate. He pulled off the technically challenging parts cleanly,
all the odd, high position barre-chord leaps, double- stop trills, and
awkward turns .
His interpretation of some of the ornaments and articulations though
(multiple strikes on simple appogiaturas and overlooking of some
staccato marks) gave me pause. But, hell... in the words of Bob Barto
"It's hard." And he played it better than I ever will.
Keep the cadenza too! Bravo!!
Yeah Dan, better than old sequencemeister,Weiss.
