After its golden age in the 17th century, the lute found new life in the 18th, thanks to virtuosos who integrated it into the orchestra and adapted the galant style to the instrument. Miguel Rincón and Il Pomo d’Oro bring this era back to life with concertos by Kohaut, Fasch, and Kleinknecht, along with a trio by Hagen, recorded here for the first time. A journey at the crossroads of the Baroque and Sturm und Drang, where the lute shines one last time.

Concerto for Lute in D Minor, III. Un poco allegro view about After being the king of court instruments in the seventeenth century, a symbol of refined entertainment, the lute was gradually abandoned in the following century. A small group of virtuosos and composers nevertheless refused to accept this predicted decline: these musicians moved the epicentre of its influence to the courts of Vienna, Bayreuth and Dresden, adapting the codes and forms of the galant style to the lute, which for the first time integrated the orchestra in its own right. Miguel Rincón and Il Pomo d'Oro bring together concertos by Kohaut, Fasch and Kleinknecht (world premiere), and a trio by Hagen, also recorded here for the first time. These splendid, inventive and virtuoso works reveal the richness of timbre and expression of an instrument that, at the crossroads of the Baroque, the Sturm und Drang and the galant style, was in its last throes.
