Music reviews of Baroque Lute Music, Vol. 1

Music Review: Can Only Be Described With Superlatives
Rating: 5 Stars

Baroque Lute Music, Vol. 1: Giovanni Girolamo Kapsberger (c. 1580 – 1651): 25 pieces for lute or chitarrone/theorbo, played on copies of historical instruments by Paul O’Dette.
Recorded in November, 1989, at Bethel United Church of Christ, Manchester, Michigan.
Harmonia Mundi USA, originally published as HMU 907020, now re-issued in the Classical Express series as HMCX 3957020. Total time: 69’27”.

Paul O’Dette has been, for many years, one of a handful of world-class lutenists, combining superb technical skills and high musicality with musicological research. This CD with music by the little-known Kapsberger, who apparently spent most of his career in Rome and was, in his day, one of the most famous composers, provides ample evidence of O’Dette’s abilities and can only be described in superlatives. The “Fanfare” critic quoted on the cover of the re-issue said it all: “This is superb music, melodious, with just enough counterpoint, harmonically and rhythmically cogent, nicely spaced with runs and trills, wonderfully apt for the instrument. O’Dette, for my money the world’s finest lutenist, does the music full justice, and the sound is first-rate.” I am normally sceptical when CD companies quote such praise, but in this case, the proof of the pudding was in the eating: A listening session in front of my loudspeakers had me enraptured. I am not a lutenist, only a fan of early music, but this disc (along with Lutz Kirchhof’s recording of Bach’s complete works for lute on Sony Vivarte) would be enough to turn me into a lute fanatic! O’Dette’s helpful notes indicate where to listen particularly carefully; and I also found it highly satisfying to compare and contrast the sound of the two instruments he plays (the chitarrone obviously has resonance bass strings, sounding deeper and fuller). And the recorded sound is absolutely glorious. The folks at Harmonia Mundi must have been in an exceptionally generous mood when they decided to re-issue this disc at budget price!
