Must be a generation gap thing then… I'm 35 and my first cd of lute music was the album of English Lute Duets played by Jakob Lindberg and Paul O'Dette, acquired in 1991. That sound was a revelation to me, and I ended up acquiring a pre-loved 7-course Harwood lute on a holiday to London in 1994. Diana Poulton's tutor was the only instruction I had for years, apart from this email list. I suppose I could be considered self-radicalised, so to speak.
I have no classical guitar background, so I was not exposed to Julian Bream's playing until some years after listening to Lindberg, O'Dette, North et al, and recall being quite put off by Bream's tone.
