Piece of the Month - July 2004
Any suggestions, corrections or other comments will be most welcome: just email martin@luteshop.co.uk. Downloadable files are provided in Fronimo and Tab formats below. I may add PDF in the future. Any non-lutenists should note that the sound on this page bears little resemblance to a real lute and is played by a robot!
La traditora - Recercar - La Cara Cossa
Some of Marco's weightier pieces are surprisingly "modern" sounding when you consider that he really belongs to the same generation of lutenists as Dalza or Spinacino rather than Francesco da Milano or Albert de Rippe. You can hear examples on Christopher Wilson's recording on Naxos (8.550778).
