This sounds marvelous! Thank you for updating us.

It's a very large collection of lute pieces, one of the most important in private hands in the world. The repertoire is ca. 1590-1640, with some relevant exceptions. Among the composers included we can findLorenzino Tracetti, Cavaliere del Liuto (Tracetti or Pinti), Kapsperger, Piccinini. The collection included not only lute music, but also harpsichord, viola da gamba and vocal music. On April 5th I will discuss in public for the first time this discovery, in Pesaro, Italy. I am working on this archive with a little team, the librarian Brunella Paolini and the scholar Antonio Becchi. I will give more information in the next period, and I will have the chance to speak in Autumn about that in Bremen, Tours and London. I hope this will be of some interest.

Hi Joseph, You must keep in mind that with this kind of music it is (aside from performing the notes correctly and beautifully) mainly about communicating the affect and emotion of the text (not the singer's own emotions).
