About

In 1928/29, Dr Werner Wolffheim put his legendary music collection up for auction in Berlin. Among its countless treasures are original editions of J.S. Bach's The Art of Fugue and Musical Offering as well as an Album for the Lute, an exquisite collection of music for the 11-course Baroque lute. This manuscript, now kept in Melbourne, contains almost exclusively unique pieces, which are recorded here for the first time.

The "Handschrift aus der 2. Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts, eine Art Album" (Manuscript from the second half of the 17th century) presented on this recording for the first time offers an exquisite collection of music for the 11-course baroque lute - excellently interpreted by the lutenist Bernhard Hofstötter.
