Well stated, Howard.   I have NOT heard the recording, but I shall
   order it, as i really like Nigel's interpretations of Francesco.   I
   seem to recall Nigel stating some time ago that the vihuela was an alto
   in "a", so the instruments ought not sound the same.   I shall find
   out.

     Maybe it's time to be reminded that nobody has said the vihuela
     can't be distinguished from the lute in this recording.   Ed asked
     which cuts were on vihuela and which were on lute precisely because
     he HADN'T heard the recording, something that got lost early in the
     discussion (and was lost on me when I chimed in).
     So someone considering buying the recording need not be concerned
     with whether the engineer was   ignorant and opinionated, or indeed
     with whether NIgel wanted to make the two instruments sound similar.
