Punto fermo per l’editore Paolo Boringhieri, nell’accingersi all’impresa di pubblicare l’intera Opera di Sigmund Freud verso la metà degli anni cinquanta del secolo scorso, fu quello che dovesse trattarsi di un’edizione definitiva, capace di costituire per decenni il termine di riferimento degli studiosi italiani.
It is a pleasure to see the rerelease of Paul Beier's first effort on the Baroque Lute, recorded in a small church in Switzerland nearly twenty years ago. He had originally planned a program that included the works presented here, plus the suite in E minor by Bach, but after editing we found that the total time of the recording was over 90 minutes, and so sacrificed the Bach suite to be able to release the CD (which can hold no more than 80 minutes worth of music).
