Kapsperger: intavolatura

This album emerged from the idea of bringing together some very different works by Kapsberger for solo theorbo in order to present a more diverse overview of the German-Italian virtuoso performer and composer. The pieces of music are taken from Books I, III and IV d’intavolatura di chitarrone, currently the only printed sources of theorbo music by Kapsberger available to us. Book I was printed in Venice in 1604, Books III and IV in 1626 and 1640 respectively. - Fra Bernardo
