From: "Mark Probert" <[email protected]>
I am a novice when it comes to listening to "new lute music". And, to
be honest, these works don't really do anything for me, much as I
appreciate their harmonic intensity and Mr Andersson's playing.
It seems, to my naif ear, that the composers don't really understand the
lute and how it works. Given the intervals and the tonality, why not
just play this stuff on a guitar? And there were times when Mr A didn't
look at all comfortable with the shifts and positions he was asked to
use.
Please don't take me for a Luddite that is lost in the 16thC: it just
ain't so. If anyone can point me in the direction of the New Music that
understands the lute, I'd really love to hear it.
Best regards .. mark
