Under Lindberg's fingers, and on his beloved Sixtus Rauwolf lute (c. 1590), even the relatively straightforward anonymous Scottish pieces included here are imbued with the same affecting lyricism he lavishes on the [other] works.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  – Gramophone \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  ***** (out of 5)\u003cbr\u003e  The sound of Jakob Lindberg's lute, made by Sixtus Rauwolf in the last decade of the 16th century, is unusually warm. A meticulously voiced recital that moves between court, theatre, and tavern. Lindberg conjures an age that was as perilous as it was rich in musical invention.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  – BBC Music Magazine\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cspan class=\"ARIAL12bi\"\u003eJACOBEAN LUTE MUSIC \u003c\/span\u003e  \u003cspan class=\"BULLET12\"\u003e • \u003c\/span\u003e  \u003cspan class=\"ARIAL12\"\u003e Jakob Lindberg (lt) \u003c\/span\u003e  \u003cspan class=\"BULLET12\"\u003e • \u003c\/span\u003e  \u003cspan class=\"ARIAL12\"\u003e BIS 2055 (81:12) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cspan class=\"ARIAL12\"\u003eWorks by: \u003c\/span\u003e  \u003cspan class=\"COMPOSER12\"\u003eDOWLAND, ROBINSON, R.

GAULTIER, ANONYMOUS \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cspan\u003eJakob Lindberg here turns to familiar territory, and deals with it in exemplary, historically informed fashion. His phrasing is impeccable, and the articulation of multiple lines, always clear and balanced. Great reserves of color can be heard in the slower, longer works, such as the pavans by Robert Johnson and Danile Bacheler, while all the divisions in the many faster pieces are tossed off with deceptive ease, and on occasion, an appropriate dash of humor. Not the least of the disc’s charms is the program itself, cleverly varied by length, character, complexity, and textures over a succession of works. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cspan\u003eIn short, this is one of Lindberg’s most immediately accessible releases to date. I’ve heard him accused in the past of too great a sense of restraint, but never found this true, myself; and here there certainly is no room for that complaint. Without ever waxing sentimental, a rich vein of expressiveness should be obvious to all on this generously timed disc. Highly recommended. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cspan style=\"font-weight:bold\"\u003eFANFARE: Barry Brenesal \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"BIS","offers":[{"title":"SACD","offer_id":49605019730200,"sku":"7318599920559","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/2498381.jpg?v=1777781958","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/jacobean-lute-music","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
