Yes, that's the one. The entire CD is on that
high level. This is a good thread to note that
many older generation, (but post heavy-lute,
played with unformed or uninformed technique) are
not the least bit obsolete- Chris Wilson comes
first to my mind as an often exquisite player-
particularly on one CD of early Italian
repertoire.
Last week at the music store where I work I
grabbed an old LP of a young Hopkinson Smith
performing on the "Widhalm" lute- an unrestored
18 century swan-neck style 13 course instrument,
miraculously in playing condition. No turntable,
I actually don't know how it sounds. If anyone
really wants it, email me off list.

I think Schäffer's CD is re-issued on CD
(http://www.amazon.com/French-Baroque-Suites-Reusner-Conradi/dp/B0000029VU)
A great recordung which I would like to recommend wholeheartedly

And of course the fine rendition by the late
Michael Schaffer of the A major suite on his
recording of "French Baroque Lute Suites",
which was available on CD, don't think it's
still in print, but used copies may be
available. Definitely a must have.
