The sound and timbre of the gut-strung and plucked keyboard instrument called the Lautenwerck (lute-harpsichord), has much in common with its cousins the harp, lute and of course, the guitar: the signature instrument of the music of Spain. This recording is a celebration of Spanish Classical music, stunningly transcribed and masterfully played by Shawn Leopard and John Paul on two Lautenwercke. Works by Spain’s greatest and most celebrated composers are represented. This collection includes works by Antonio Soler’s (1729-1783), Enrique Granados (1867-1916), Antonio de Cabezon (1510-1566), Manuel de Falla (1876-1946). José Galles and others. These dual instruments were both built by Anden Houben, one of the world’s foremost authorities on the proper construction of the lautenwerck. Get out the castenets – you're in for a treat. Olé!
