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.

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. > On Aug 27, 2018, at 12:55 AM, Martyn Hodgson <[2]hodgsonmar...@cs.dartmouth.edu> wrote: > > Indeed, I agree.
