The quality of this CD is of the highest standard. The musical content, Roberts playing and the recording quality are all world class.

The three sonatas by Bachs contemporary Weiss are delightful pieces full of craftsmanship. Roberts playing is beautifully balanced and the part writing is made extremely clear. The tone of the lute is full and round.

If you don't have a CD of lute music then buy this one. Naxos have produced a bargain. I cannot rate it highly enough.

I can honestly say this CD changed my musical outlook completely. As a classical guitarist for 25 years, I have now become a lute devotee.

Buy copies for your friends as well !

An excellent disc 10 Sep 2010
By Sid Nuncius HALL OF FAME TOP 10 REVIEWER
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.

I first heard this CD when I turned on BBC radio 3 one evening and heard the last few movements of Robert Barto playing a lute sonata by Weiss.

The CD is outstanding on several levels. The music is extremely approachable and of the highest standard. Roberts playing is world class. The quality of the recording is superb.

Since I heard this recording I've been a convert to the lute and joined the British Lute Society.

.. Don't just buy one copy of this CD. Buy copies as gifts for any of your friends and give them a life changing musical experience.
