The lute flourished for more than five hundred years, until it's decline towards the end of the eighteenth century, and for large parts of that time it was the most important instrument in all of Western music. Some of the most exciting developments took place in the 1500's, including the first instances of printed lute music as well as changes to the instrument itself. On this release, Jakob Lindberg, one of the great lutenists of our time, pays tribute to three colleagues from 600 years ago: Francesco da Milano, Marco dall'Aquila and Alberto da Mantova.
