Silvius Leopold Weiss: Fireworks for Lute

Silvius Leopold Weiss (1687-1750) left behind an enormous oeuvre of over 600 works for and with lute, which not only impresses with its virtuosity but also with its musical quality and characterises him both as a composer of the first rank and documents his exceptional status as a lutenist.

Bernhard Hofstotter ignites a firework display of virtuoso baroque lute music.

Bernhard Hofstotter's lute playing has been described as 'superb' (theWholeNote) 'bringing pieces to life in an array of rich hues' (Rondo), 'dazzling with a profound musicality and a rare understanding of color' and 'elegant execution' (ResMusica), 'pithy and virtuosic' (acoustic guitar), and 'adeptly combining technical ease with a masterful sense of phrasing' (Lute Society of America).
