Hi Luters, I had the great pleasure of hearing Emma Kirkby and Jakob Lindberg in concert last evening. Even now, at 11:00 the next morning, I'm still feeling awestruck from it. This was the best early-music concert I have ever attended. Just something about their performance seemed to set it apart from, and above, the rest. Awesome!!
Actually, let me correct myself on one point: there were three performers. Jakob referred to his lute as "the most senior member of our trio." It was the 1590 Rauwolf. After the concert, if that alone wasn't enough to send me home smiling, I got to meet Emma for the first time, which was really cool as I've been a long-time fan of hers, and say hello to Jakob of course, but I also had the opportunity to hold and examine this Rauwolf lute, and actually to play on it! Wow! Best, David Rastall dlu...@verizon.net www.rastallmusic.com -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
