The link didn't seem to work when I tried to listen. I'll try again later.
In his catalogue Gerard Rebours says that there are "nombreuses differences". I don't have the theorbo version but I am sure he is right. S/he (probably he I'm afraid) had probably heard someone else playing it and was writing it out by ear. I don't think it needs an extravert performance. The little guitar is a delicate introspective instrument. I always think that the theorbo sounds very "in your face". Too much heavy metal bass.

I couldn't resist a quick try at it: [5]http://www.pluckedturkeys.co.uk/Visee.wav The fifth and sixth couplets (?) seem quite different from the lute/theorbo. I wonder if the scribe was arranging it as s/he wrote it out? Listening to the massive, booming performances of this piece on youtube, on monster lute/theorbo makes the little guitar seem a bit feeble. Maybe it need a very extravert performance on a loud guitar.

It has also been recorded by Rafael Andia. But I don't really like the recording... mvh Are Dear Arto There is a guitar version of this chaconne - in D minor - in the huge manuscript F.Pn Res. F. 844. It is on p.237. Someone - Stuart I think - pointed out that you can download an image of the whole of this ms. from the Bib. Nat. site.
