Format:Audio CD
Weiss, held to be the foremost lutenist of his time, was an almost exact contemporary of Bach and so his time was the last flowering of Baroque lute music. He left a huge and very distinguished legacy of compositions, which really show the true beauty and versatility of the lute. All of the music is full of melodic invention and Weiss's mastery of his instrument is clear from the richness of the harmonic structures. It is fitting that this very fine composer is now receiving rather more attention. He thoroughly deserves it.
Robert Barto's entire series of recordings of Weiss's lute works has been truly excellent. I also have recordings of Weiss by Jakob Lindberg and Nigel North - two modern giants of the lute - and Barto is at least their equal, in my view. His technique is impeccable, leaving him free to concentrate on and interpret what the music is saying. I have gradually accumulated all ten (so far) of the discs in this series and my enjoyment of them has never diminished. Barto brings out all the wonderful interest and variety in Weiss's music and obviously has a real empathy with it and love for it.
The recording is excellent and the sheer sound of the instrument is a joy. All round, this is a wonderful disc and at this price you can't really go wrong. I warmly recommend both this and every other volume in this outstanding series.

Another Triumph
9 Dec 2001
Format:Audio CD
Robert Barto is doing every lute fan out there a great service by recording these works, and this, the fourth volume in the series, is another smashing success. He again chooses a nice selection of pieces that vary in key, mood and difficulty, and the overall effect is wonderful. The contrast between the intense, melancholic f-minor sonata and the other, "sunnier" works in A-major and C-major is quite striking. Barto again establishes himself as perhaps the leading interpreter of Weiss; as for Weiss, he can't seem to write a bad note!

Mesmerizing!
28 Jan 2002
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The four albums (actually five if one includes the Hagen album) of Barto playing lute music by Weiss are truly mesmerizing. They cover the range of the Weiss's intricate compositions. I truly hope that the Naxos label keep bringing out additional recordings by this outstanding artist. The recording is warm and immediate. Highly recommended!

Shining Late-Baroque Light
11 May 2003
Format:Audio CD
Weiss was a contemporary of Bach and it's been said they knew one another and, perhaps, even made music together at one time or another. The music on this disc is quite good and satisfies my craving for thoughtful music. I sometimes feel that music composed during the late Baroque period proper (right up until 1750, typically) is just too light and transparent. This cd dispels my own notions and for that I am grateful. One look at the price on this disc should further remove all doubts about a purchase. If you like music from the Baroque and/or fretted string instruments then get it now. A wonderful 6-dollar investment.
