Galilei: Intavolatura di liuto

• A truly fascinating program from British lutenist Anthony Bailes, featuring the work of Vincenzo and Michelagnolo Galilei, father and younger brother of the famous Galileo. The elder Galilei taught both brothers to play the lute. Michelagnolo was a professional lutenist at the court of Maximillian of Bavaria. Michelagnolo’s Il primo libro d’intavolatura di liuto is a unique amalgam of forms encountered in no other publication of lute music.
