Oops! my mistake about the key, I was thinking of a guitar
transcriptions I have of it in D major. I'm now looking at the
Chantarelle facsimile edition and it is indeed in C major. Same as the
one Yepes recorded, though. So nobody has recorded the C major on lute?

Hi,
where can one order this recording? I haven't been able to locate
it or previous message that mentioned it.
I have an old recording of the D major sonata played by Narciso
Yepes on guitar, I think he transposed it to E major for his 10
string. It would be interesting to compare the two.

These pieces (and this composer) certainly stand out as high
points in lute repertoire. They represent such a strong break
from the old "baroque" lute idiom both stylistically and
technically, that they are a joy to play and to hear. They may
well be the most difficult lute pieces to play, well, ever.
(excepting transcriptions of the Mahler symphonies, of course.)
Mr Wilke's performance is the first I have heard and I
found it quite satisfying. His phrasing and voicing choices were
very appropriate. He pulled off the technically challenging parts
cleanly, all the odd, high position barre-chord leaps, double-
stop trills, and awkward turns .
His interpretation of some of the ornaments and articulations
though (multiple strikes on simple appogiaturas and overlooking
of some staccato marks) gave me pause. But, hell... in the words
of Bob Barto "It's hard." And he played it better than I ever will.
Keep the cadenza too! Bravo!!
Yeah Dan, better than old sequencemeister,Weiss.
