Weiss - Selected Works for Lute
Evangelina Mascardi, lute

"Le sobre monument de 2003 s’est mué en une ample méditation à fleur de peau, parcourue de cris étouffés, de larmes, de ruptures, de bribes de chant, d’accords déchirés... Bouleversant. Mascardi ne cesse décidément de nous régaler". Loïc Chahine, Diapason, Novembre 2024 Now available here   / shorts at youtube

After the success of the complete works for lute by J. S. Bach, crowned by the recognition of international critics (Diapason d'Or, Choc de Classica, Excepcional Scherzo, Record Geijutsu, Eccezionale di Musica, Joker Absolu Crescendo), Evangelina offers a double album dedicated to the music of the greatest lutenist of all time: Sylvius Leopold Weiss. In his work, virtuosity and sumptuousness merge against the elegant and ethereal background of the gallant encounters and court dances of the 18th century. A new recording that restores the lute to its due and ancient glories - ARCANA A569
