Dear Bruno, It has to be Robert Staak. He is the only lutenist in Estonia. His group is called Rondellus, which consists of Robert and his wife Maria, who sings, together with other musicians they draft in from time to time. They have made a number of recordings, and are about to produce a new CD of sacred music from mediaeval Spain.
There is another early music group in Tallinn (capital of Estonia) called Hortus, which claims to be the oldest early music group in Europe. I don't know how true that is, but they have certainly been playing for a very long time. If they need a lute player, they ask Robert. Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. -----Original Message----- From: lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu [mailto:lute-...@cs.dartmouth.edu] On Behalf Of Bruno Fournier Sent: 16 November 2009 18:47 To: morgan cornwall Cc: lute; Roman Turovsky Subject: [LUTE] Re: Amazing Race lute sighting I saw him too.A How many lute players can there be in Estonia??
