Subject: Benjamin Narvey' essays
I Just finished reading and re-reading Benjamin Narvey's award winning essay; 'Robert de Visee's Musical Gravestones: The End of Grandeur & the Death of the French Lute.' It appears in the April edition of 'Goldberg' Like his other essay, 'Etes-vous precieuses?' Refinement and preciosite in 17th century French lute music (Lute News - April 2008), his writing truly conjures the world in which these lutenists lived and worked. If you love the French lute you should read these wonderful pieces. Three cheers for Benjamin Narvey!!!
