Hopkinson Smith, Ennemond "Vieux" Gaultier, Suite en ré mineur

[@SBClaude]

Gorgeous and very spiritual. From days when the tempo of life was quite different from our own. Played with such délicatesse and musicality. Thank you.

[@luciocosta34]

Maravillosa!!! Le compositeur était un génie du luth, comme Weiss, chacun son style, mais le deuxième fut forcément influencé... Hopkinson Smith parfait ❤❤❤

Beautiful performance. Almost mystical.

Sublime. Hop is the best.

Una música preciosa, una armonía y melodía delicadas, elegancia, inspiración. El instrumentista pasa a la Historia como un virtuoso del instrumento.

awesome thx

[@astroalex19]

meraviglioso! Hopkinson è straordinario. Nel barocco francese credo sia imbattibile, ma anche quando suona de Rippe. Con Weiss è inutile cercare di superare Robert Barto. Weiss e i due Gaultier esprimono la stessa "tristezza cosmica"...

[@enricolippolis]

L'ascolto è soggettivo tanto quanto il gusto....Smith ha registrato tre cd dedicati a Weiss, e per me le "pièces" (astrée 8718) sono inarrivabili; inoltre il giovane Gaultier mi sembra molto più formale e molto meno profondo del grande Ennemond, sembra anche a detta di quest'ultimo. Di Barto mi piace solo l'Hagen (SY98164)

Hoppy's best.

[@beasheerhan4482]

Yes - he plays French musick much better than all the rest, and this album was his very height. Thanks to his producer, too, Michel Bernstein, for, in using the then heavy metal method of production, few lutes have ever sounded so good.

@@beasheerhan4482 what do you mean exactly ? Could you elaborate more please ?

[@beasheerhan4482]

@@dbeb48 Bernstein, unlike many classical producers, who have purist philosophies when recording, preferred to record the lute very loudly, so that the nuance and power of the instrument would translate better to the listener's ear. Apparently this was the right thinking, because the Vieux Gaultier album he produced for Hoppy, is the best sounding lute record I have ever heard. Truly sumptious while being impossibly deep.

[@astroalex19]

@@beasheerhan4482 It's true, but the way he plays de Rippe is just astonishing, but Alberto da Mantova was italian!

the first peace is not fro m Gaultier

[@evrimbayindir]

do you know who the composer is?

[@beasheerhan4482]

You mean it does not have an attribution to him. Why do you need alphabet to tell you what is so musically obvious?

[@matthieujacquot]

@@beasheerhan4482 Because it's a piece from Germain Pinel, a French lutenist contemporary of Gaultier... This version is directly taken from the Saizenay manuscript (p 12, if you have a copy) and attributed there to Pinel. You can search youtube for "pinel prelude d minor" you'll find something that sounds quite similar to this prelude (from another source, though).

There are similarities, but they are not the same.
