Yes - the music is fun and I really enjoyed hearing the solo pieces too -
but liner notes are just nonsense. They have just made it all up as a kind
of concept to hang the recording on.
Really it's irresponsible - because what they have said is now being
repeated as if it were true.
What a world we live in.....

I quite like that CD (especially the guitar solos that they opted to
record
as solos), but the liner notes do strike me as a bit "whimsical."

Wow - that was quick work. That must be the picture. But is there
any
evidence that the lutenist is Foscarini?
To be honest - when I first read the liner notes to the CD I thought
they
were a work of fiction. But perhaps I am missing something.
