Robert Barto (lute)About
This series, devoted to his complete lute works, continues with the large-scale Sonata No. 52. Thought to be a late work of the composer’s full maturity, this Sonata is notable for its extended movements and wide use of adventurous chromaticism and modulation.
The Sonata No. 32 makes much use of the extra low notes characteristic of the enlarged thirteen-course lute introduced around 1717. In the Sonata No. 94 Weiss seems consciously to be experimenting in a style more akin to that of the following generation.
“As with the previous volumes in this series, Barto doesn't overburden Weiss's music with exaggerated phrasing or excessive ornamentation. And his tempi always feel just right. As a result, you're more likely to return to these elegant, revealing performances again and again.” Gramophone on Naxos 8.570109 (Vol. 8)
