Description:
The mandolin's distinctive tone, which evokes Mediterranean romance, has inspired many composers, including Vivaldi and Beethoven, resulting in expressive works. The lute, used from the Middle Ages to the Baroque period, was so delicate in tone that it once declined in the 19th century but regained popularity in the 20th century. In this album, you can hear works for mandolin and lute from various periods, including works by the great 18th century lute player and composer Leopold Weiss. Naxos Japan
