..And the state of knowing how to play isn't necessarily a simple yes or no.  
It's a continuum, and any musician worth anything continues learning as his/her 
career progresses.  So, should we only buy the one most technically perfect 
lute performance currently committed to CD as the only one that represents a 
real state of knowing how to play...or sell off all the CDs of any given 
lutenist when he/she generates a later one after learning to play the 
instrument better...or not buy any lute CDs at all knowing that there will 
always be a release pending in which a player knows how to play the instrument 
in a more technically perfect fashion than on current releases?  These things 
are much more a matter of personal taste.  Buy it or don't.
