[LUTE] New cd by Anthony Bailes

2010-04-03 Thread Edward Martin
Dear ones, I read about this a year ago, and it is finally available in the USA. I just received it, and I think it is a really nice recording of French lute music. It is entitled: Apollon Orateur: 17th Century French Lute Music, and it is on the label RAMEE, number is RAM 0904. The recorded

Not to beat this issue of recorded sound to death, but I just listened to a CD I'd forgotten I had: The Renaissance Lute, by Ronn Mc Farlane on Dorian. To me this is one of the better recent (well, 1994) lute recordings I've heard. I'm familiar with Dorian as a company well regard
