[LUTE] Re: Vivaldi lute concerto
Greetings all. Iâm not even the last guy you would ask for an opinion on historical authenticity, but I have several times played this concerto on classical guitar, accompanied by both piano and string ensemble. My read is that this is a musically very satisfying performance. I really enjoyed the way that the lute was able to take the principal role as the solo instrument should. Itâs true that the single stringing on the instrument gives it a certain resonance that approaches the sonority of the guitar, but that poses absolutely no problem for me. On the contrary, that âsingle-mindednessâ really helps the lute stand out against a very busy background. Truth be told, though Iâm very interested in the historical integrity of an interpretation, that aspect is, for me, secondary to the musical satisfaction. Sometimes the historically correct version is the most musically satisfying; other times it is not. But I do feel that the intellectual exercise of authent! icity is a secondary concern to the aesthetic satisfaction of a performance, one that can make the listener vibrate.

[LUTE] Re: U.S.A source for Savarez lute strings.
I’ll second your recommendation, John and would add that it’s true of most strings. Even from France their prices, shipping included, are less than European prices until I get above €25. At that level, lordofthestrings.com in the Netherlands, with Europe-wide free shipping on orders above that sum usually pip them at the post.

[LUTE] Re: CNRS
Be aware that the role of the CNRS in French research is surprisingly broad. The stated mandate of the organisation is to âproduce knowledge and to put that knowledge to the service of society" (my translation from the French). Consequently, the CNRS covers all of the sciences, as its name might suggest, but also all of the social sciences (psychology, sociology, etc.) and the arts (visual, literary and musical). In fact the word scientific in the title is misleading and publishing music falls comfortably within the organisation's perceived mandate. CNRS is a wonderful organisation (ok, a bit stodgy and pedantic at times) and is a perfect model for the unstated French world view that, âif we donât educate the ignorant masses, who will?" I was lucky enough to have been funded for nearly five years of full-time work on the place of James Joyce in contemporary French literature. Nirvana. Those were the days.

[LUTE] Re: Breaking news
Iâve actually played Stromness on my six course renaissance lute using the transcription for guitar by Timothy Walker (Boosey & Hawkes 1980) and it works well. OK, I cheat and tune the third course up a half tone, but it is a very satisfying arrangement that, as I play it, anyway, comes across as a bit more melancholic than does my guitar version.
