Psyché. The French Weiss
Solo disc by Benjamin Narvey. A recording that represents a condensed history of the lute in France, beginning with 17th-century French origins associated with Gaultier and moving through its blossoming in the 18th century, emphasising an aesthetic contrast between simplicity and complexity: a single musician playing a single lute, yet producing music that is highly ornate, intricate, and expressive.
