[LUTE] Re: Roman's music on gamba

2009-01-04 Thread Roman Turovsky
Apparently that piece is a lot harder on gamba than on lute, but I would 
have never known that from such a dignified performance!

ps
There are also gifts of similar nature -
from Stuart Walsh on http://www.torban.org/ruthenicae (audio)
and Dan Shoskes on http://polyhymnion.org/swv/ostinato.html (video)!!!

Didn't move Tim, just a little levity to excuse my bad habit of staying up 
until the hours long after the wee ones. I was trying to pretend that it was 
still the night before when it was becoming the morning after in 
progressively western time zones. Still here in NJ.

Best, Jon

[LUTE] Vienna

2009-01-04 Thread ml

Hi,

in the near future I will travel to Vienna (Austria). Besides the many  
places that interesting city has (in art, music, literature,  
architecture, psychoanalysis...) I would like to ask this list about  
any suggestions related with the lute that I can't miss.


Thank you very much in advance!

Saludos from Barcelona

 Hello Everyone,

 I'm considering buying Robert Donington's, The Interpretation of Early
 Music. Is this a good book to own or are there better books to be had on
 the subject?

It's a good book to own as you can use it as a reference book. It has
many quotes from period sources, arranged in chapters on the different
topics you might be interested in. Handy. You do not learn how to play
beautifully, or even - dare I say it - HIP from a book like this, of
course. For a better taste of the time and its music you might want to
read something like Quantz cover to cover. Less answers but more
flavour, so to speak.

Hola!

The Kunsthistorisches Museum has a famous collection of lutes. Worth a  
visit!

Hope you enjoy your trip.

Saludos de Holanda,

Thanks for this scholarly musicological report.  For those relatively
new to the list, who therefore may not have caught this reference the
last time it came up, here is a wonderful study on the air lute:
