Instrument: 6-course Renaissance lute (Klaus Jacobsen, 1997), gut strings by Mimmo Peruffo, tuned in fifth-comma meantone

Playing time: 60'

Recording date: 1997

The present recording is a studio version of a concert held in 1997 in Milan for Francesco's 500th birthday. It is taken entirely from a relatively obscure source, one which arguably predates the first Marcolini print devoted to Francesco in 1536. It therefore presents a relatively distinct, and earlier, reading of this music.
