a. De Rippe - Albert De Rippe: Un Perfaict Sonneur De Leut on CD

Description

As refined as it is technically challenging, the lute music of Albert de Rippe (né Alberto da Ripa) is notable for its lush palette and dense brilliance - illustrated by the miniature masterpieces heard here: fantasias, chanson intabulations and dance arrangements (the three most popular genres of the Renaissance repertoire), which in the hands of Paul O'Dette become marvellously expressive and poetic.
