It is very nice performance, but is it really a lute? It said "Liuto Forte in E" in the notes to the video. Sounds much more like a guitar to me and it looked like he had it tuned in guitar intervals by the chord shapes he was using. But yeah, there is no reason one could not do that with a

That's true My point wasn't to show a extra quality - just that a lute (or in that case a liuto forte) could do anything. And I personally like jazz being played on lutes (or other non-electronic settings). There were settings done of some ragtime standards ("Grizzly Bear" for instance) and we

On the lute? A single strung, metal fretted Liuto forte? Does this qualify as an anachronism? I don't think there is anything here that couldn't be done just as well (or better) on a guitar. But sure, it looks cool, and perhaps there is a timbre or tone quality that could not be replicated on any

I would certainly be interested who else has been caught improvising against Sor or Mozart! Among my friends, I used to be known to be notoriously abusive against JSB, but I couldn't help it, JSB is by far the greatest of the entire lot and can for sure stand a little abuse. On 30.06.2007,
