這張發行是魯特琴大師Anthony Rooley費時多年研究16世紀英國魯特琴音樂後,獻給樂迷的珍貴錄音.一份魯特琴音樂的鉅獻,世界首度CD發行!
Antony Rooley writes: ‘Since 1963 I had been spending many hours in the British Library studying the sixteenth-century English lute manuscripts … what a unique collection! The “Jane Pickering Lute Book”, “The John Sturt Lute Book”, “The Mynshall Lute Book” – all collections of one individual’s personal choice of repertoire, each with unique information on fingering, ornamentation, taste and style.
‘I was invited by Decca to make a solo lute recital – and as no one in the company knew the repertoire, I was left alone to finalise my choice. How to choose from such wonderfully obscure collections from 400 years ago?
‘Why did I choose John Cozens’ Lute Book (residing in Cambridge University Library) from the rest? Well, I admired his taste! I admired his ornamentation! I admired his clarity! It is a wonderful collection of the very best Elizabethan/Jacobean lute music – and it was about the right length for an LP. (Although in the end I made a selection rather than the complete manuscript).
‘I can only say, 35 years on, I was a very lucky young man and I think I made the wisest choice – it is still a collection of very beautiful music!’
This delicious LP makes its first appearance on CD on this Decca Eloquence reissue.
