Paul O’Dette’s newly recorded personal selection of favourite pieces from the pinnacle of lute repertoire by „the Liszt of the lute“. Many of these pieces are melancholy but consistently lovely, enhanced by Paul O’Dette’s new lute: a 2008 8-course by Malcolm Prior, after Sixtus Rauwolf, Augsburg 1590. O’Dette’s 5-cd set of John Dowland was awarded no less than 5 Diaspasons and is due for reissue in the near future. His next release will be of Giovanni Antonio Terzi [1580-1620] provisionally titled ‘Unplayable chords’ ‘maketh a man to be wholly Musiques”

Now revered as a titan of the lute and one of today’s pre-eminent early music scholars, it may come as a surprise that Paul O’Dette began his musical career playing electric guitar in a rock band in Columbus, Ohio. After exploring guitar transcriptions of lute music he opted to focus solely on the lute and music of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. In addition to a catalog of more than 120 recordings, O’Dette has garnered five GRAMMY® nominations and numerous other awards. The music of John Dowland has long been one of O’Dette’s specialties. This selection presents excerpts from his recording of Dowland’s complete music for lute for harmonia mundi.
