This is exquisite contrapuntal writing. Such independence of line, and yet they perfectly slot together. And so clearly played - thank you.

Thank you very much!

We're treated to music written for dukes. Mr. Kieffer has tbe discipline to not add to, but JUST let the music spill forth its loveliness.

[@paulkieffer]

Master of Masters, Paul is one of the best lute players in the world and I am very happy to see that he is recording videos at home. He inspires me a lot, so, i`m going to record something in the future at home with a new 7 courses lute coming in December from Alfonso Marín, incredible lutemaker here in Sevilla. Abrazo Paul.

[@paulkieffer]

Too kind Alejandro! I'm looking forward to your videos very much! I love your playing!

[@Justin.R.Ferris]

Always a pleasure to hear your work, my dude. May I ask about your preferred temperament?

[@rachimbaskin6559]

Thank you. The soundtrack to a Spring morning! The composer obviously knew God personally.

Beautifully played, but too many camera angles. With beautiful music and performance like this, it's better to let the viewer watch what he pleases, rather than have his vision forced here and there every few seconds.
