Dear lutenists, in one Finnish tv-channel (Teema) there were just two interesting programs - lute included: [1]Philippe Jaroussky was singing Caldara with Concerto Koeln and then[2] Cecilia Bartoli sang castrati arias with Giardino Harmonico. In Concerto Koeln there was a bald theorbo player. Played well. With Giardiano there was an archlute player with quite small instrument. Does anyone happen to know, who these guys are? The archlutenist was perhaps Contini? Not important at all, but I must say Cecilia was much more masculine in her castrati arias than Philippe in Caldara... ;-) Arto --
