Dear lutenists, first a shameless self promotion (well I do know I am very far of being even a tiny "virtuso"..;)
My first 4 reasons to be eager of Jacques Gallot's music are all from ms. Barbe: L'altesse Royale de Gallot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiaozikECfs (6.3.2011) La Nopce de Gallot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrwRYCp3Kfs (7.3.2011) La belle Magnifique http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7unEU8Da-hY (14.3.2011) La Coquette (La Grondeuse) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT_R1jFUvuk (22.3.2011) Wonderful pieces - not so great performances... Anyhow this kind of stuff made me an eager admirer of one of the Jacques'is. Very player friendly stuff, not very easy but very cleverly written, at end enjoyable also to fingers and of course to intelligent. I suppose this Jacques is one of the "vieux"es, the "Gallot de Paris". Mathias, is he the Gallot of ms. Barbe? Another comment: The new Zoom O3 HD-version has a couple of important new features compared to the non-HD version - the HD as such is not so important to me: 1) The optics is much better - especially when there is not much light. 2) And much more important: the older non-HD version had only an active and authomatic volume level setting. When you played quietly, it listened more, and when you played with more volume, it filtered it out... Actually quite horrible. The HD version has a setting, where it only reduces volume, when it hears stronger volume it has heard until now; So you can first play the noisiest place in your piece, and then start the actual playing. Later clip that start check off.
