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 regular lute in regular lute tuning. (But it is a lot harder to play 9th chords :-/)
