Hi Guys,
Some more vintage lute recordings for you - as with last time, do check your
local laws before downloading these files, which are out of copyright here
in the UK.
First, something of a premier recording - the first ever recording of
Dowland's Lachrimae from 1957. No lute featured (!) but instead the lute
part is played on the virginals. The lute pioneer Desmond Dupré is one of
the viol players, however. He features on the other side of this recording
playing all sorts of things on his lute - some of which my friend Nick, who
transferred the recordings, describes as "comical":

And here is an early Telemann recording featuring Walter Gerwig plucking
away on a continuo line:

Hope you enjoy them - thanks to my colleague Nick for his sterling work in
the transfers.
Best wishes,
Peter
