My question is, who is overrating the lute?? Are we still not at about 0.1% of the population who knows or cares what it is? Perhaps the small grain of truth that he is getting at: when a modern continuo player on theorbo has to make themselves heard, there is by necessity a greater

Dear List: Does anyone know if Goebel ever directed a performance of Komm, süßes Kreuz from the St. Matthew Passion, and if so does he opt for viola da gamba over the original lute obligato? (Or the arioso for St. John's for that matter.) If there is a general disdain for plucked chordophones

re: reinhard goebel - sounds like the sort of comment one would make simply to annoy someone - someone in particular. if ever there was an instrument that provides a genuine early voice, it's the lute. for better or worse, there's no conflicting, overlapping references for it (with the possible

I also would say, this interview is at least regarding Goebel's opinion on lutes and other plucked instruments ridiculous and not all established or substantiated. And he claims to be a musicologist ??? Best Markus On 02 Jun 2006 14:49 GMT, Mathias Rösel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I agree with

There are probably some on the list who don't know that Reinhard Goebel was, before his left hand went dead, one of the pre-eminent baroque violinists, and is the founder-director of Musica Antiqua Koln, a string-oriented early music with a reputation for performances that were technically

Hmmm, 48 seconds per tune average. That brings up something I've wondered about - a lot of ren lute music seems to be very short. Did they just play lots of short pieces or was the practice to repeat a piece several times? Do the written scores represent themes which the player developed as he
