5 out of 5 stars Best Baroque lute ever.......2005-01-16

I own many many Baroque lute CDs and play the Baroque lute myself. This is absolutely the best single CD of Baroque lute music ever recorded. The Weiss selections are sublime and the playing is heavenly. Often guitar players who take up the lute do not "get" the expression of the lute and their performances always sound guitaristic (e.g., Julian Bream). Such is not the case here. This is a recording for the ages.

5 out of 5 stars Baroque lute music at its best........2000-12-23

I own a lot of baroque lute cd's, but have found this to be perhaps the best. What first strikes you is the sheer sweetness and beauty of the sound of Moreno's lute, much better (or at least much more to my liking) than the usual variety. Then you are surprised at the beauty of the works. Weiss is usually good, but these pieces are very well selected, outstanding. Perhaps a problem if you already own many Weiss works, you can find many repeated. But believe me, it's worth it on the sound and the playing alone. That's the third point. Moreno plays not only effortlessly, but adapting so well to the pieces, that afterwards is difficult to hear them played in any other way. By all means one of my favourite recordings.
