But, in an odd bit of relevance, the Respighi 8-track had a lovely
theorbo-ized vondervogel lute (single strung) on the label. My 12-year-
old self thought that was pretty cool and may have even helped propel
me lute-wards. Imagine my surprise to see the current herd of giraffe-
lutes heading in that direction again. What's new is old again!

The Respighi was pretty popular among the easy listening/classical
crowd in the 70's; eg., restaurant rotation. My dad had it on 8-track.
He also had some Segovia records but we weren't allowed to touch those.

I think that possibly more people heard more of Segovia's recordings

Your paragraph implies that Chilesotti was made famous by Segivia, and
not
by Respighi.

So, Respighi was exposed to Chilesotti through Segovia's efforts?

As far as his influence on the lute: I heard Paul O'dette say that
it
was the "Six Lute Pieces from the Renaissance" based on Chilesotti
(and made
famous by Segovia) that inspired O'dette to seek out a lute. He was
studying
them on the guitar and he took the title of the piece seriously enough
to
find a lute.
