Lute Orchestra Plays Barbetta & Vallet

2016

I know Halloween is over but of equal terror check out this lute-icrous video of a lute army. Arrangement by Gian Luca Lastraioli for European Lute Orchestra of several sources, in particular: Julio Cesare Barbetta (II firstly libro di will intavolatura of Liuto, 1569) and Nicolas Vallet (Het tweede Boeck Van de Luyt-Tablatuer, 1616). Concert dans le Great Hall du château de Durham (GB), le 30 octobre 2016. This comes via Jean-Marie Poirier’s YouTube channel. I can’t even imagine the fun they had tuning.
