'While I lived I was silent; dead, I sing sweetly': Found in the portrait of the 16-th c. lute maker G. Tieffenbrucker, these words, spoken by the imaginary tone wood used for centuries in the manufacture of string instruments, fittingly depict its double life. This recording celebrates the so-called 'Presbyter' lute, possibly made in Padua in 1595. One of the oldest playable lutes in existence, it was restored to its likely first configuration (a seven-course lute).
