The interpretation is as good as the composition. Monumental!!!!

Really very beautiful. This is a stunning performance, a nicely-shot video and a very well-recorded sound as well. On all levels, this is the sort of thing to admire.

Something in this recording remininds me of the first vinyl records of lute music I owned, almost 40 years ago. Rekindles a long-standing passion and makes me wish to start playing lute again. Very nice, thank you.

@iiirdeyeheretik

The two pieces were likely written at the exact same time, so I would be skeptical of claiming one being inspired by the other. They met themselves LONG after these pieces would have been written. It's entirely possible they were both drawing inspiration from the same source, or they just happened to write similar sounding music as they were both writing music in the same region in the exact same time period. But it's silly to look at this and try to point to one being inspired by the other.
