    Am I the only one here who thought it would be the Blues legend Robert Johnson?

    @nequillim That is a nasty glitch, which could damage speakers too. It would be nice if Bonproducer could re-up the video for a fresh transcode.

    Delicate music, beautifully played. And I might add how nice it is too see an artist take the trouble to dress nicely for a recording/video.

    Between Julian Bream’s modern version without any ornementation, very "dynamic" and the etheral interpretation of Konrad Junghanel for the first piece which is not a Galliard but an Almaine (called the "false Almaine") with an unexpected quick tempo.
    A good balance ! Deftly played with a great Renaissance flavour ! Nigel North is a great lute player !
    Great thanks !

    The most sophisticated lutenist of his generation – he really makes the lute sing!

    First time I’ve heard this version: only knew Gibbons’ for virginal (No2)…

    Well that can be your subjective thought, but my personal experience with Nigel is completely opposite. He is a great player and a nice guy.

    How do you know his lute is by Jonsson? Fine performance, anyway! 🙂
