Dear lutenists and lute enthusiasts,
We thought you'd be interested in hearing this: Louis Pernot, who has
been playing lute since he was thirteen, is one of the best lutenists
in the world. He is about to release a worldwide first-- the recording
of the Book of Perrine, a seventeenth-century masterpiece, recorded in
Switzerland, on which he has been working for the past ten years.
It comprises some of the most beautiful pieces of Ennemond Gaultier,
exclusively written for baroque lute. Unlike most other lute pieces,
this one was transcribed by Perrine, a contemporary of the authors,
from tablatura to a more precise, more modern technique. This has made
the Book a fabulous interpretation tool for other pieces; a sort of
Rosetta stone for the lute world. It gives indications about left- and
right-hand positions; about ornementation, arpegements.
You can listen to a preview of this album, and several others, online
at his website: www.frenchlute.com. Please feel free to ask any
questions you have; you can reach Louis at louis@frenchlute.com.
Enjoy!
