Weiss "Pieces de Luth" (Hopkinson Smith)

[@MegaCirse]

Comme la première lumière de l'aube, cette musique ouvre les yeux à de nouvelles promesses et à toutes les merveilles de la nature. Evocatrice de pouvoirs au-delà de l'observation, ces pièces tirent les ficelles du cœur, attirent les nostalgies et éveillent les amours, les vies écorchés et les veilleurs endormis.

I met Hoppy Smith when he was a Harvard freshman in 1967. Now he is a master lutenist. Great job Hoppy !!!

[@Jalapablo]

Weiss' music is breathtakingly gorgeous and shows perfection of form. Hopkinson Smith does it justice!

[@haimlute]

not only an extraordinary musician but also a lovely person and teacher.

Hopkinsin Smith is a new discovery for me - I love the way he played pieces by Vieux Gaultier and many others. He plays wonderfully !! Many thanks for this upload also. !

Creo que pocos entienden la música antigua tan bien como Hopi. De los mejores músicos de nuestro tiempo. Gracias x subirlo!!

Very much i do Like this music, Composer, Interpret, Instrument. Did See him live with Renaissance Luth 2019 in Austria/ South Styria

[@larasmy8231]

breathtaking, so sensitive, such a lovely music

[@viewfromwilmington]

His interpretations are energetic and involve the listener.

[@carlostringhi7822]

The prelude is an improvisation by Hopkinson Smith himself

[@seanmarshall7529]

REALLY??? WOW

[@joseoliveira8858]

Great Hopi. Marvelous lutenist. it would be great if you upload the whole CD. Thanks.

[@massimolonardi7886]

Meraviglioso!

[@thomasc390]

Thank you!

[@parrishbuzzard6946]

Weiss was to me such a mysterious and fascinating composer. I wonder when they are going to finish that compendium? Like Scarlatti his music lends itself to the classical guitar. 8 string ones work especially well. The musician performing is extremely excellent!!!

[@Dats_Lyfe]

Weiss was king of the lute-fiddle.

[@TrackerAction]

How have I never heard of Silvius Leopold Weiss and Hopkinson Smith?!

[@nicholaspearson4246]

I knew him when he was a freshman at Harvard. He's developed into one of the top lutenists of his generation. Its interesting to compare his interpretations, musicality, and technique to that of Robert Barto.

[@Libertylute]

Well, both Hoppy and Bob Barto studied in Basel at the Schola Cantorum with the late Eugen Mueller-Dombois.

[@scheepalicious]

Beautiful, beautiful.

J’ADORE

[@robertcarruthers2997]

Truely magnificent

[@natureinbeing3449]

Such a peaceful music!

[@TheLivingHeiromartyr]

I love hearing his sharp intakes of breath as he quickly changes chord positions. I know I sound silly, but it adds to it for me : )

[@shaughnfourie304]

[@scheepalicious]

Indeed, uhh numbers, it all flows so naturally.

[@veonidas]

hermoso

[@yuluy3650]

Anyone know where this prelude is from? It doesn't seem to appear as part of the 16th Sonata in the Dresden manuscript

[@heteroclitus]

The prelude is Hoppy's own.

[@jancina6910]

Super barokve

[@lolggggh6297]

Guess what one of my dads buds is the son of this guy
