{"product_id":"toyohiko-satoh-lute-music-from-the-netherlands","title":"Toyohiko Satoh- Lute Music from the Netherlands (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe lute played a central role in the music of the 16th and a greater part of the 17th centuries. Whereas the organ occupied a leading position in the realm of church music, the lute was the most important solo instrument for secular music written at that time. Leaving the organ out of discussion, the lute was the most prestigious of 16th century instruments, eventually eclipsed in popularity and use by the harpsichord at the end of the 17th century. Nicolas Vallet, a Frenchman who lived in Amsterdam proclaimed it \"the lute, rightfully called the King of all lnstruments.\"\r\nLute-players during the 16th and 17th centuries fell into two categories. The first one was occupied by well-to-do amateurs who look to lute playing as an elegant hobby; and professional lute players occupied the second place, sharing their middle-class status with other craftsmen, like painters and furniture makers. \r\nThe lute repertory of the 16th and 17th centuries covers a broad area of musical farms including:\r\nArrangements of secular and non-secular songs from all West European countries either written for lute solo or with lute accompaniment.\r\nArrangements of existing dances and new compositions for dances, such as: pavanes, gaillardes, passemezzi and allemandes.\r\nArrangements and imitations of polyphonic instrumental music: fantasies and ricercares.\r\nProgrammatic compositions such as portrayals of pitched battles (batailles) and carillon ringing (carillons).\r\nCompositions usually referred to as preludes intended to show the instrument in all it's technical glory.\r\nThis rich selection of lute music composed in The Netherlands includes the composers Sweelinck, Adriaensen, Van Den Hove, Huwet, Valerius and Vallet.\r\nPlayed by one of the most distinguished lutenists of this time, Toyohiko Satoh. \r\nReissue of a 1990 recording, originally issued on the NM Classics label.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e UPC \u0026gt; 5028421969992 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Format \u0026gt; New CD \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Label \u0026gt; Brilliant Classics \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Release Date \u0026gt; Release Date: 9.05.25 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46525363126493,"sku":"5028421969992","price":90.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4439251-3412810.jpg?v=1750973938","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/products\/toyohiko-satoh-lute-music-from-the-netherlands","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
