Four hundred years and the beauty of this music still finds its way to us... What an infinite experience. My humble compliment to both the composer and its interpreter!

Musica senza tempo, io da umile chitarrista che ha studiato la chitarra moderna fingerstyle, sto provando a suonare partiture del Rinascimento trascitte per chitarra acustica, devo dichiarare la mia più profonda ammirazione per il maestro e per tutti i concertisti di liuto che esrcitano questa professione magica con estrema perizia. E' davvero difficile, richiede sacrificio, talento ed esercizio infinito. il mondo musicale dovrebbe riconoscere a questi talentuosi interpreti, maggior successo. Ed invece assistiamo ad artisti popolari che poco o nulla conoscono di teoria musicale, suonano il loro strumento in modo raccapricciante, e vendono milioni di CD......che vergogna....complimenti Maestro per le sue interpretazioni. Felice vita e grazie di 💙

To all this people who want the wars all over the world : listen to this music, incorporete beauty, kindness, calm and hope…Evviva la musica barocca ❤Grazie mr. Smith

Kapsberger ... one of those late Renaissance/early Baroque forgotten masters. Forgotten but always there. Smith is a remarkable musician who mentored other excellent masters esp. Rolf Lislevand.

Sorprende y preciosa grabación. Todo un derroche de delicadeza, grandeza y sabiduría musical. Se transporta el alma, se desliza a regiones muy altas, escuchando tan sólo. Enhorabuena y un muy largo aplauso...

I had to write to Hopkinson Smith on his website: " Thank you for the profound beauty that you breathe into your instrument. Please inhale that beauty as you play. "

Una gran belleza en estas obras magistralmente interpretadas. Hopkinson Smith es grandioso, un prodigio, es como si fuese para él que se escribieron estas notas en el pentagrama.

This comfortable sound is a sound of the soul Something Incredible, and Incredible comfort, and Incredible feelings

La joie,on l'a en écoutant cette musique heureuse!

I keep coming back to this and it's a little bit more soul -satisfying each time. Thanks so much for posting it, because I'd doubtless never have run across it otherwise and it's becoming one of my favorite works.

Could listen to this forever, thank you & grazie mile for sharing these gems !!!

Понятно что человек творил, ...но, какая сила вела его, чем он руководствовался , что вдохновляло его в обществе невежд , алчущих признания и славы....среди себе подобных... Как это было тогда...ведь, сейчас творцам нелегко....

....timeless. .. ....in absolute. Lute. ....easy.. .light. ..love we...!

The essence of an Era ! The nuance of the shadowed trees and forests, ...the eloquence of halls and castles...

Quando studio amo mettere come sottofondo le musiche dei grandi maestri liutisti del passato, delicate e vivaci al tempo stesso con le loro danze e toccate. Grazie!

That Canario dance at 6:26 heals the wounded heart of any Soul; just by listening, almond trees are evoked in full bloom; pink snow petals gently falling on the dancers below! So MANY thanks to everyone who makes this BEAUTY possible!

I can't tell how fascinating it is to me ! :)

The Canario is one of the most beautiful lute pieces ever composed.

SPOT ON! ,,, And heals the wounded heart!

Johann(es) Hieronymus Kapsberger 1580 -- 1651 est un interprète virtuose et compositeur germano-italien pour le luth et le chitarrone pendant la période baroque. ... Kapsberger était l'un des principaux compositeurs pour théorbe et aussi l'un des plus novateurs et il contribua pour beaucoup à l'évolution de ces instruments.

Absolutely gorgeous stuff. Thank you so much for posting.

Only Russians can phrase something in the way the whole world was created to serve them. Read people's comments. Try to express how important this music is for you. There is nothing shameful to say: "I keep coming back to this..." or "...profound beauty that you breathe into your instrument"... Be a human, Vlad.

The needless roast is so hard it is actually cringe. He just said it in informal funny manner, you don't need to sound elitist or classy to share sentiments on classical pieces. That is what makes us humans.

great music. subtle too. thanx a lot

Hop. è il Signore del Liuto!

Grazie!

Thank you!

Excellent !! Kapsberger played by Hopkinson Smith is a sure bet for enjoyably sounding music ! Thank you!

gracias, se agradece.

Does someone knows the name of the author of the painting? thank you!

Beautiful. an other beautiful one is: french lute baroque.

magnificent.

Tutto questo grazie a Johann Hieronymus , Hopkinson e Rocco. I Cieli rendano merito a queste persone.

finally figured out the type of music they use for the stainless steel mod

This 1st tune is beautiful ! Is there a special tuning or can I, with a little modification ,make it playable on my 8 course lute ?

No modification necessary- it fits perfectly on an 8-course in renaissance tuning! The Tab is available on the Dartmouth Lute Page.
