Dear Anthony and all,
I also very much enjoy that old recording of AB on EMI Reflexe. A
great, old recording.
Your statement that "(although, I imagine that with his 76cm lute
pure gut basses should also work well)" is in complete agreement with
my recent experimentation.
As you know, I have
Dear Mathias
You seem to regret having been hooked by Anthony Bailes' LP
recording of 'Pieces de luth (and almost to to "blame me" for
reminding you of it). I am sorry if that was a painful experience for
you:

Artists usually pay to record cds these days. In return they receive a
number of cds to sell by themsleves. Depending on the name/popularity

Dear Mathias,
Interesting. As said, I don't think any reasonably sized lute is
'wrong': it's more a matter of what might have been generally expected
at the particular time.
My comments relate principally to French lute music of the mid/late
17th century (as on Anthony Bailes's

Will I be shot down in flames by suggesting you don't use Spotify? The
thing is a massive rip off. The musician gets almost nothing for being
on it. Lady Gaga had over a million plays on it, and received just over
100 dollars. Imagine what Anthony Bailes would receive... Many

Hi Martyn,
Go to [1]www.spotify.com where you can download the player onto your
computer.
There are then two options - you can go for the free version which has
occasional ads between tracks, or the paid version that is ad-free.
Being a Scotsman I put up with the ads!
Best wish
Dear Martyn,

I think you confuse it with some other recording. (Old Gautiers
Nightinghall?)
This one is quite new.

I just found that this album can be listened to on Spotify if you have
access to it. It's free to use in the UK, but I can't say how things
are elsewhere.

Hi Bill,
This is indeed a fascinating subject (hence the change of heading).
I am told variously that the 1722 Wenger has a string length of 76 or
77cm. It may at some stage have been converted (from a gallichon
perhaps?) to a 13 course lute before the present manifestation as a
Hi Martyn,
Do you know what the string length of the Wenger is?

Dear Edward,
Thank you for this notice: in fact this CD has been out in Europe for
over a year.
Unfortunately, as Anthony Bailes later agreed (see letters in Lute News
from No 94, August 2010 on), the large Wenger lute used on the
recording (if indeed it was built as a lute and
Thank you for the heads-up, Ed. I just checked and the CD won't be
available in the UK until April 23rd. Pre-ordering is possible
though! Tony is certainly covering the repertoire, isn't he?
Interesting that he uses A70. It's really all you can do when you use
a gut chanterelle
