Hello all, That is a really nice performance, thanks for that link! By the way: there are still a large numer of CNRS lute editions available directly from CNRS in Paris. You can order online: http://www.cnrseditions.fr/catalogue/recherche.html Just type in the name of the composer. The Mercure is still available, as are a number of other volumes. Just got the Mercure from them about 2 weeks ago, at less than 50% the price of what some stores are selling it for (if they have it). Cheers, Theo
