Well, certainly the playing is nice and clean and the guitar sounds
well - tho' perhaps recorded a little close. The purling runs are nice
but, from the samples heard (maybe unrepresentative?), I was a bit
dissapointed at the ubiquitous and general(?) use of the rolled
thumb in the down strokes.
Regarding musical interepretation, I thought the extracts were all
rather lugubrious - for example surely in the 1670s the Sarabande had
not yet slowed to the sort of level commonly found in the 18th
century...... sorry.

Don't know whether the rest of you have already noticed this but
Carpe
Diem have recently released a beautiful recording of music from
Corbetta's 1671 Guitarre royale played by Rosario Conte - the best
recording available now Antonio Ligios recording is no longer
available.
