Dear friends,
First of all, I'm very happy to read so many replies to my post! I'm sorry
if I was too hard on Mr. Rooley, but I wanted to be as precise as possible
about the event I recently attended.
My first question to you is, do you know how much ground work Anthony
Rooley has done to make t
Dear all,
We seem to be concentrating on just the softness
of playing. What about Bruno's other comment that "it
was also painful to hear or to understand what
[Rooley] was doing"? (Bruno even went so far as to
call him a "poor chap.") All the painstaking academic
research in the world does
Anthony,
An aiglet, I think it's called.
I still wonder as to how they'd compress the diameter and what the
knotting arrangement would be but that's for the engineers to work out.
Back to playing...

Dear Anthony,
As you are a man of so few words, perhaps you can explain, in 25
screens or less, just what is "the present state of lute playing"?
My reason for asking is this: I have seen many changes in my own
playing over the last five years or more. But as I don't promote
myself at all
No one who has heard the recordings Tony and Emma have done over the
years would be surprised at how soft he is. Even in the studio,
where he could easily control the balance, he tends to be soft.

Dear Bruno
Anthony Rooley has done a lot for early music, and still does. He never was
a loud player, though. I've seen, and to a lesser degree heard, him play
live many times. With and without Emma Kirkby. They used to come a lot to
the conservatory where I studied lute, and he has given good
Dear Bruno and Andronico
I think there may be phases in "historical" music in which players
reject what went before, partly for reasons of greater authenticity,
but not only, so.
Following a period in which pioneering musicians played with modern
techniques on "modern heavy high tensi

I would agree with Roman that discussing in detail about a
string which I have only seen on one lute, and which I was unable to
judge, because I am completely unfamiliar with such a huge bass lute,
would seem slightly surrealistic (a little Dodsonian, let us say),

Dear Bruno:
I feel obliged to say a few words here. While your concert review was much
appreciated by those of us who, unhappily, do not have the opportunity to hear
such great artists perform in our locale, your comments about the lute playing
seemed a bit misguided.
My first question t
Dear Anthony Ed and David!
I so much appreciate the information which you
prowided. Now I can think having something to stand on
in this matter. Sorry for not writing before . I was
gone for two days for a concert. Now I can concentrate
on strings again!
Very Best, Anton

Dear lutenists,
While having a glass of Malbec wine and my memory is still reasonably
fresh, I'd like to share a few coments about the concert that Anthony Rooley
and Emma Kirkby gave here in Rio de Janeiro last Friday.
First of all, I was very excited to see two very famous specialists in early
The number of all the enticing possibilities to keep us from actually

I think you must both be correct (in a way). I have not experimented
this, but in my mind I see myself stretching a piece of rubber band
held between two fingers of both hands,.
In between the hands the rubber band will become thinner, but on the
