Dear All,
for all lutenists reading italian, here there's an e-mail by the
lutenist and professor Franco Pavan to the Italian Lute List (liuto_it
on yahoogroups.com) dated 22.03.2010:
>> Oggi o domani sarà conclusa la fase di stampa della pubblicazione
dei brani di
>> Francesco da Milano contenuti nel ms. conservato presso il Duomo di
>> Castelfranco Veneto, autografo di Giovanni Pacalono. si tratta di
>> un'acquisizione importante per il repertorio liutistico, in attesa
del completo
>> fac-simile che sarà curato dal prof. Franco Rossi per l'editore
Forni di
>> Bologna.
>>
>> Un caro saluto
>> Franco Pavan
As far as I know there's a limited edition, concerning only the
Francesco da Milano pieces, and (unfortunately?) transcribed for guitar,
which has been printed last week.
The complete fac-simile will be published by Forni Editore
(http://www.fornieditore.com) soon.
As you may remember, Forni printed also the fac-simile of Kapsperger's
"Terzo Libro d'Intavolatura di Chitarrone"
I am not aware of ANY reproduction on the net, as the Castelfranco mss
is a private property.

Betreff: [LUTE] Re: CD Dall\'Aquila
Dear David,
There is no currently available complete edition. All of the known
pieces attributed to Marco in manuscript and printed sources are included
in the Lute Society 'Lute News' series edited by myself and John H
Robinson which are available from the Lute Society. The series
also includes many of the pieces from Munich Ms. 266 which can
reasonably be deduced to be by Dall'Aquila on stylistic grounds.
This series is tablature only (no score transcription). The
Lute Society has avoided producing a complete edition in the hope that
the Arthur Ness edition will appear in print, which would
surely be regarded as the definitive volume that we would all like to
see.
Interestingly, the O'Dette CD includes a number of pieces which have
not to my knowledge been previously attributed to Marco, some being
minor pieces from Munich Ms. 266 and others from seemingly unknown
sources. It's possible that these might be from the Castelfranco Ms.
which is said to include work by Marco, although there is no inventory
of its contents generally available. I look forward to hearing more
about those pieces myself.....
Best wishes,
Denys

Is there a "one stop shopping for" for Aquila's music scores?
I'm in a buying mood.
Sorry about the CD sound, I guess there are no refunds.
I suppose we could send a group letter, making it
very clear of course that the engineering is the
issue, and that Paul deserves the best.

Here the recording is in a castle, not in a church, near the city of

Italy. But there was perhaps more suitable rooms in the castle ?
It's a pity because Dall'Aquila's music is beautiful(and Paul's playing
too)

I agree with you. I listened to a few tracks and was appalled. It's
as
if they had recorded it in the local swimming baths.
There is this tendency to use churches for recording this repertoire -
possibly because churches (in England at least) charge less than other
venues. Most of them are completely inappropriate and unsuitable.
What a shame for Paul.

It seems to me the CD is worst (but I'm listenint to the web page on a
computer with poor speakers cutting high frequencies) CD, on a good hifi
player, treble are really agressive. Like if it was played on a metal
strung
instrument (but not a soft orpharion, Alas...) and also a cathedral
effect,
like a bad computer reverb effect.
But I would like others opinion if some had the CD (On the French list
there
is another bad opinion)

Val,
Does the CD sound better, worse of the same as the tracks on the webpage?

It sounds to me like the microphone is at the back of a hall

I'm afraid it is really bad. Not Paul's playing (excellent as usual)
but sound recording is really not "audible" (is it the right word ?)
Trebles are aggressive, bass mixed in a soap sound... The booklet
says
it is the "historical" place where it was recorded that is very much
reverberant... Why did they choose this place ? even if it was not
possible to record in the church in Aquila where the plan to do
first,
but can't because of the earthquake.
I send a mail to Harmonia Munid, to ask them to take this out of
sell
and make a new one on the usual standard... (and to ask my money
back
!)
Other opinions ?
