This review is from: Kapsberger: Il Tedesco della Tiorba - Pieces For Lute - Paul O'Dette (Audio CD)

Paul O'Dette is one of my favorite lutenists, and he really does a marvelous job with Kapsberger's music. O'Dette switches between lute and chitarrone, which results in a subtle change of texture. The recorded sound quality is exquisite, and this music is full of pleasant surprises. I especially like the Toccata Arpegiatta, the Bergamasca, the Colascione, and the Canario. And try this: turn down the lights and play the piece Kapsberger. It will thoroughly move and de-frazzle you.

This review is from: Kapsberger: Il Tedesco della Tiorba - Pieces For Lute - Paul O'Dette (Audio CD)

Born in 1580, Kapsberger helped define a sound for the lute. You will hear some familiar medieval musical devices, not unlike Dowland, but there are some surprises in here too.

Played with respect , this album has an authentic sound, in my my modern perception, anyway.

Stands up to multiple listening.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Lute Recording, March 28, 2007

This review is from: Kapsberger: Il Tedesco della Tiorba - Pieces For Lute - Paul O'Dette (Audio CD)

Rereleased on classical express (search for B000059WLD) at a low price. A fantastic performance by O'Dette of a very neglected composer. Highly recommended! A wonderful journey awaits you. Please bring forward more of Kapsberger's compositions!
