Review & Description
Weiss, a contemporary of J. S. Bach, was the greatest lutenist of his age, whose music
is largely in the mixed Italian/French style of the time. The Sonatas are prodigiously
attractive works of great emotional power. No. 39 is majestic, revealing Weiss's mastery
of lyrical invention, whilst No. 96 is lighter an elegant work probably conceived for
teaching purposes. No. 30 illustrates precisely those qualities of agility, grace and
expressive depth that lend his music so great an appeal. Robert Barto's series has
generated universal admiration, MusicWeb International praising 'marvellously vivid
performances, and beautifully recorded into the bargain'. (Vol. 10: 8.572219)
