This Da Vinci Classics album affords us the delight of enjoying a journey in time and space, through the medium of Renaissance lute music. The European Renaissance is certainly a period many of us would like to visit in a time-capsule, were it available. It was a period of extraordinary flourishing of the arts – visual, musical, literary – and of culture in general. It was a period when knowledge, philology, philosophy, and religious thought experienced major developments. It was also a period not untouched by bloody wars and battles, heavy epidemics, and profound crises. Still, we owe to the Renaissance much of what our modern culture is; and we can regret having lost much of what the Renaissance bequeathed to us – in terms of sources, artworks, but also of values, expertise, and knowledge.
