WEISS: Lute Concertos

Silvius Leopold Weiss was the greatest lutenist of the eighteenth century, according to both contemporary and modern critical appraisal. His ensemble compositions have remained hitherto obscure because thye are all incomplete. Only the lute tablature part remains in the known manuscripts. Richard Stone has reconstructed the flute and bowed-string parts heard on this recording. This is the world premiere recording of these important concertos.
