[LUTE] Van Dyck
I just saw the original Van Dyck picture in the Prado this morning. And very fine it is too. The label next to it says that the Prado think that it probably isn't Jacques Gaultier. Certainly the man doesn't look anything like the other pictures of JG. By the way, the instrument has (only) six single bass courses. The upper courses are double-strung.

[LUTE] Lute Festival Regensburg 2008
On Friday my day started with picking up the rest of the swiss lute players to j oin this year's trip to the lute festival of the german lute society which took place in Regensburg. We missed the first events due to a traffic jam which we regreted because Pietro Prosser played on a original Galichon. Knowing his playing from previous lute f estivals I was very keen on listening to his playing - and the Galichon! We also missed the lecture about the restauration of the instrument which follow ed the concert. So instead we made our first experiences with franconian foot (and beer). Afterw ards we were in best mood for the concerts of the evening. So we first heart a recital by Bart Roose (from Bruegge) who played music by Hans Newsidler on his entirely gut strung lute by Peter Van Wonterghem after Hans Frei. I tend to tell H. Newsidler's music "german" (with t ongue in cheek). Bart's playing was fine, smooth and calm although he has choose n some of the demanding pieces from H.Newsidler's print from 1536. This recital offered a new look at Hans Newsidler's music. The reaction of several concert li steners prooved that Bart raised interest into this repertoire. The final recital was by Lee Santana who played a mix of his own music, Dowland, Holborne and Francesco da Milano on Tenor-Lute, Cittern and Alto Lute. I liked the sound of his Alto lute by Ivo Magherini (although it was completly out of tu ne which made it hard to bear listening to Francesco's fine music). We ended the evening at a very nice restaurant in Regensburg which was built in a gothic room. The next day we started visiting the exhibition of instruments and music. I was so surprised and happy to meet Frak-Peter Dietrich and his wife who spontanous d ecided to show some of their instruments on the exhibition. Frank- Peter has buil t my very first lute and I have several of his instruments. Soon after the chat I detected Philippe Mottet-Rio who has built my new love: my new swan neck baroq ue lute. I just said "Hello" to Beppo Kreisel as I saw an instrument on his table which r aised my interest: A double-headed baroque lute he has copied from the instrumen t in Fuessen. It was not just me who enjoyed this instrument because Beppo recei ved a lot of orders. Mine won't be ready until end of 2009 (after the usual day to sleep on i t I decided that one cannot have enough baroque lutes)! The first lecture of the day was introduced by Albert Reyermann fromm TREE editi ons who will publish the manuscript AN62 from the episcopal library in Regensbur g. The manuscript was then verbally introduced by Francois-Pierre Goy and musica lly by Anthony Bailes. Francois-Pierre's talk was well-informed and peppered with detailed knowledge of the sources. Anthony Bailes playing made this manuscripts even more attractive (although I think he could play a scale and it would be a fascinating sound expe rience). Albert Reyermann said the manuscript (which will be published in modern transcription) would be on the easier side of the baroque repertoire. I just took a look and could not verify this information with own ex pirience (i.e. playing the music - tablature *always* looks easy). This lecture was followed by a lecture of Bart Roose and Peter Van Wonterghem ab out Hans Newsidler and the lute Bart is playing. This lecture was very interesti ng and improved the raising interest in Hans Newsidler's music and in both lectu reres. I just got this information by a friend who enthusiastically reported abo ut this lecture - as I missed it I cannot tell more details. I also missed the following lecture by Werner on Strauch about "tunings and temp eraments" which I already heard a while ago. Werner has profund knowledge about the tunings and how to apply them on a lute. The highlight of the events of this afternoon was the "entertainment" by Dr. Frank Legl and Anthony Bailes who presented a musical travel with Johann Friedrich Armand von Uffenbach. Pictures were thrown on the wall, texts by Uffenbach presented (and petulantly c ommented) by Frank. Anthony played music from Vieux gaultier to S.L. Weiss which alone would make the afternoon a success - but the combination of word, humour, pictures and music made the fun complete. The concerts of this evening were by Lynda Sayce and Claire Antonini. I was eagerly looking forward to Lynda's performance of english music of the 17t h century. And ... she topped all my high experiences! With great sensitivity, w ell structured, highly virtuous and with beautiful tone (on a lute by David van Edwards) she played a most demanding program which didn't become easier because most of the music is w ell-known. I wondered if Claire Antonini could compete with such a overhelming performance. And she could! On the same level of musicianship she performed music from the Saizenay manuscri pts.
