David -
Thank you! Ron asked me to weigh in here from a singer's perspective, but
you've virtually covered it all. I feel very strongly that the
singer/accompanist dynamic has absolutely no place in lute song. We are
collaborating to tell a story, and it feels more like singing partsongs

I'd like to ask everybody about the role of the lute when playing with a
singer. Which are the aspects we should focus when doing the acompanniment?

I have the full 4-CD set of of these recordings issued by BIS years
ago. It was released comfortably before O'Dette finished his complete set
for Harmonia Mundi spanning five CDs. Lindberg's are fine recordings and
tasteful interpretations. I think they compare favorably to anybody else's
Great stuff!

Best wishes,
