Music reviews of Weiss: Sonatas played on the unique 1590 Sixtus Rauwolf Lute
Music Review: What Bach Must Have Heard?
Rating: 5 Stars
Sylvius Leopold Weiss (1686-1750) was an almost exact contemporary of JS Bach, and is known to have visited Bach in Leipzig though he was more closely associated with composer Johann Fux and the musical establishment of Vienna. Weiss was renowned as a lutenist, probably the foremost virtuoso of his era on that instrument. As far as I know, all his surviving compositions were intended for lute and probably for his own performance. It takes a virtuoso to bring a virtuoso's musical craft to life, and thus deep in the heart of every living lutenist is the desire to play "Weiss" convincingly. To my ears, very few have succeeded. Robert Barto is prominent among those who have tried, with at least nine or ten CDs of Weiss's sonatas and fantasies on Naxos CDs. I'm sorry to say that I don't find Barto's performances entirely satisfying; he has odd lapses of phrasing and passages where I seem to hear him under stress in covering the notes. You won't hear any such stress in this performance by Jacob Lindberg, whose technique sounds utterly effortless both in rhythm and in affective timbre. It helps of course that he's playing a superbly restored historical lute, a veritable "Stradivarius" among plucked strings. There are adequate samples here on ammy, so I needn't rhapsodize. I only regret that Lindberg hasn't set out to record a "complete Weiss" to compete with Barto's.
