Johannes Otzbrugger - Robert de Visee

Robert de Visee (c.1650/60-1732) is one of the most important representatives of the French lute school.His music is characterised by a natural beauty that immediately captivates. It is no accident that he had the privilege of playing at the Coucher (the ceremonial reception before the bed rest of Louis XIV). To listen to Johannes Otzbrugger is indeed a truly pleasure.The Austrian lutenist Johannes Otzbrugger began playing the guitar in early childhood. As a teenager he got to know the lute - an encounter that gave him access to an even more intimate sound sphere. After graduating from school, he studied at the Leopold Franzens University in Innsbruck. From 2009 to 2016 he studied historical lute instruments with Rolf Lislevand at the State University of Music in Trossingen. As a soloist and with his Ensemble 392, he regularly releases CD recordings on the fra bernardo label.
