Stuart, Thanks for these, I found them interesting. I was wondering if you could say a little bit about why you're interested in modern/contemporary (whatever you want to call it) music for the lute? Its nice that there are some pieces out there, and its even better for the rest of us

Thank you Stuart - very much enjoyed the music and your performances. Christian Vasseur has two CDs available on the lovely 'Humming Conch' label: http://www.hummingconch.net/artists/christian-vasseur Best Andrew On 15 Jan 2011, at 22:28, Stuart Walsh wrote: Christian Vasseur wrote some

Thanks for these, Stuart. And for the imaginative videos. I'm not sure why, but these pieces leave me rather place-bound, whereas Gilbert Isbin's take me on a journey. I think you play them very well, but G I 's harmonic/melodic language resonates far better with me than C V's. Worth
