I saw that orchestra in Connecticut last Sunday. The lutenist strummed quite bit, on a swan - neck Baroque lute. It looked to have a pick guard installed. He was a fine player.
I was interested to see how both lute and harpsichord played most of the time, rather than one or the other. I'm sure I've read somewhere that they were rarely used together.
