WEISS, S.L.: Lute Sonatas, Vol. 3 (Barto) - Nos. 2, 27, 35

Sylvius Leopold Weiss was by far the most outstanding lutenist of the Baroque era. Contemporary accounts mention him together with Bach, Handel, and Telemann as one of Germany’s most accomplished musicians. The sonatas recorded here represent the exuberant virtuosic works of his youth, as well as the complex, emotionally compelling masterpieces of his mature style.
