Luca Pianca - Narcisse au Parnasse - Works for Lute & Theorbo

In this PASSACAILLE recording, the well-known Italian lutenist Luca Pianca explores the ever-fascinating world of 17th century French music in a varied program. He introduces listeners to the unmistakably refined musical style of the so-called Grand Siecle under Louis XIV, in which the lute and theorbo, together with the harpsichord and viola da gamba, set the tone. The timeless elegance of these compositions is an excellent illustration of the splendor of the musical landscape in France in the 17th century.
