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.

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

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

[@jasjjb]

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!!

[@haimlute]

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

[@squevedoh]

Un momento para disfrutar plenamente una buena interpretación.

[@carlostringhi7822]

The prelude is an improvisation by Hopkinson Smith himself

[@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.

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.

[@viewfromwilmington]

His interpretations are energetic and involve the listener.

[@massimolonardi7886]

Meraviglioso!

[@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 : )

[@joseoliveira8858]

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

[@veonidas]

hermoso

[@jeanpierrebreuer4295]

ces pièces m'enchantent. Je pense que ça vient en partie de l'interprète...

[@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.

[@lolggggh6297]

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

[@jancina6910]
