Anne Bailes edited the Tree publication of Vallet's quartets, making a
series of corrections in the process. There are indeed quite a few
mistakes and inconsistencies. The pieces are very enjoyable to play if
one can find a suitable group of instruments (and lutenists!).
There have been several CDs of music by Vallet. My reference is the
recording by Eugène Ferré (Auvidis Astrée, 1997) which includes the
quartets (for which he is joined by Pascal Monteilhet, Jérôme Blum and
Brian Feehan).
Best,

Dear lute netters,
my Vallet editions has reached milestone 1. All pieces entered and
proofread numerous times.
70% of the critical notes entered (a nightmare).
I wonder if it makes sense to add the quartets. As far as I know there
was an edition published by Tree(?).
Anyway, I have played Vallet quartets only once in my life in Mark
Wheelers flat in Muelheim 20 years ago.
The players were Mark (who seems to have disappeared), Stefan from
Wuppertal, Kenneth Bee (still on the lute list?) and myselfe.
Now I have listened to one of the quartets in Fronimo.
It sounds VERY strange - lots of wrong notes.
In his article about the quartets Stan Buetens argued that they sound
OK when played on lutes.
What do people say who have played the quartets?
Should I include them in my edition?
Rainer
PS
Playing music for 4 lutes was really fun :)
