About 14 years ago TH-cam offered your Canarios to me. In the first weeks I looped it for hours on end as alternating between multitasking on various matters of data analysis and glued to watching and listening to the two of you perform this piece of mischievous magic of seamlessly weaving themes of Bach in and out of Canarios. I come back to this every now and again. Absolutely delightful!
My son is studying classical guitar at a conservatoire in England and has just started theorbo lessons. Unfortunately I’ve not heard him play it yet due to lockdown and not being able to visit him but I’m very much looking forward to doing so. Thank you for this wonderful performance.
I listen to this sublime performance every few months; it brings tears to my eyes every time. The visceral mixture of joy and tristesse that radiates from the music reminds us of our mortality, but comforts us with a profound sense of shared experience with our fellow humans, across time and space. The delicacy and restraint of the performers adds a wonderful lustre to their artistry. Oh, how I love this piece.
Such an amazing arrangement. The way you just draw up closer and closer to that strummed refrain, building the tension more and more until finally resolving it. So joyous. Brings tears to my eyes. Perfect pairing of Bach and Sanz.
What a joyous piece! Never getting tired of watching and listening to this video. Probably my most favorite among numerous outstanding videos Luteduo provides. Young Anna Kowalska's beautiful smile is unforgettable. In this vide Anton also plays as much as Anna. I love their congruous performance. Apparently both enjoy playing this Canarios. It was a performance of the century in Bialystok, Poland, on October 26, 2009. Wow, it has a real historic value! I visited Warsaw last summer and will visit there again this summer. Poland is a beautiful and culturally-rich country. Luteduo's music represents the best of the bests. Bravo! and Dzienkuje bardzo!
Looks like a baroque guitar and a chitaronne (Chitarra teorbato or theorbe) to me. De Visée played both these vuitar instruments of course...not too wild a speculation to hear them played together, they were used in baroque operas by Monteverdi, Purcell and Lully, amongst others. They make a fantastically full sound together, don't they just!
GASPAR SANZ { CALANDA / TERUEL 1640-1710 MADRID } CANARIOS. Grande interprétation grandiose bravo. Merci pour ce moment avec GASPAR SANZ et de baroque GUITAR, video sublime.
What a refreshing change this is from the all-to-common "beat you to the finish line" versions of Sanz' classic, wherein the (usually male) guitarist plays at a tempo too rapid for actual dance-ability, variations in timbre, dynamics, or rubato. Duet arrangements of Canarios are fairly rare. This one captures the lively spirit of the original, but with a lighter, more playful expression than usually heard. Anna's rasqueado demonstrates great touch and is a joy both to watch and hear.
This is so fantastic! Great arrangement, and beautifully played by both of you. Sorry to be so late in discovering this, or the two of you, I'm now listening to a lot of your stuff, wonderful!
One of the most beautiful duets featuring these two instruments I've ever heard. Thank you!! These seem a perfectly matched pair in more ways than one!
La Kowalska è semplicemente straordinaria! Benché sia trasparente l'intento di sbalordire il pubblico, occorre ammettere che ciò è fatto con evidente buon gusto, con garbata scelta delle invenzioni e con eccellente, davvero, magistero interpretativo.
Músicos habilidosos e perfeitos para este tipo de musica Renascentistas, maravilhosamente executados como poucos no cenário musical mundial. Skilled musicians and perfect for this type of Renaissance music, wonderfully performed like few in the world music scene.Congratulations\wow/
It was designed before over-wound guitar strings, so to get lower bass notes the strings had to be longer. That's a theorbo, which is like a baroque harp guitar. It has 6 regular strings on the fret board and 8 harp strings played open. The harp strings add deeper bass, so they're much longer so they can reach the really low notes below the fretted strings.
Phenomenal! I doubt that that the majority of people that view this grasp the total focus and commitment it takes to perform in this way. I'm speechless! WOW!
Still sounds beautiful in 2024!
And after all these years neither of
you has aged one bit! Amazing!

Absolutely love this arrangement which blends the Sanz theme with the prelude to the 6th Bach cello suite. Brilliant!
Still magnificent 1 year later.
Helps with my dry eyes problem!
Timeless and inspiring! May this performance endure forever. Bravo! 👏
I love the bits of Bach slotted in
My favourite piece by Luteduo. Many thanks.
Oh so wonderful. 14 years ago - and I’ve only just heard this. Another marvel from you two. God bless you!
I love the way the melodies of the two instruments just dance with each other. Amazing!
Magnifique duo jouant ce morceau connu de Gaspard Sanz..Musique enjouée et tellement belle.Encore bravo
Man, Anton is rockin it on those bass notes here!
I admire the serene and cool force of Anna Kowalska. She is a calm soul.
I have now heard the Canarios in a way I could have never imagined. Amazing!
Lovely!!.. I love the look on Anna's face when Anton starts strumming. Such a wonderfully expressive face.
Strabiliante e Nobile musica, quanto adoro questo brano
Beautiful and powerful - love the duo on this piece.
Magical!
Bravo!
I am totally addicted to this one.
Excellent
Glorious in every way ! A masterpiece. Thank you so much.
Beautiful performance 👏 ❤
Bravo! Bravo! Beautiful. Thank you!!
Lovely and dance inspiring

Thank you for this wonderful performance.
Brilliant!
What an amazing performance
Amazing.
Mesmerising!
I knew lute and baroque guitar have wider expression by seeing your movies. many thank you.
I listen to this sublime performance every few months; it brings tears to my eyes every time.

No two performances of theirs are ever the same making each one a unique and infinitely rewarding experience. Bravo !!.
Such an amazing arrangement. The way you just draw up closer and closer to that strummed refrain, building the tension more and more until finally resolving it. So joyous. Brings tears to my eyes. Perfect pairing of Bach and Sanz.
One of my favorite videos in TH-cam. Every while, I come back to it -and I always feel joy & gratitude !
PERFECTO..ENHORABUENA POR EL TRABAJO Y POR INTERPRETAR A UN COMPOSITOR ESPAÑOL...GRACIAS DESDE ESPAÑA

Toujours le même enchantement !!!
What can you say but magnificent!!
really great - very creative - i love it- BRAVO
Simply beautiful. And so artistically expanded upon.
I am thankful I can listen to this.
one world wow!, It's sound so great, and very well played!
I have no words to describe... This version is just, superb! It makes me want to live in the XVII century and dance all the time!
on of my favorite pieces ,,played florals by you ... Thanks !
fantastic sound from a couple of strange looking instruments
Nothing strange about those instruments. A baroque guitar and a theorbo. Quite common instruments in Baroque music performance..
This is so fantastic! Great arrangement, and beautifully played by both of you. Sorry to be so late in discovering this, or the two of you, I'm now listening to a lot of your stuff, wonderful!
Sencillamente hermoso.... mil y mil gracias por compartir.
Einfach schön und gut, SUPER, Danke für die Darbietung ;-)
Stunning, just stunning
Wonderful arrangement. Good job, guys!
One of the most beautiful duets featuring these two instruments I've ever heard. Thank you!! These seem a perfectly matched pair in more ways than one!
Captivating! A great new experience in enjoyment.
This is an amazing performace! Bravissimi!
You deserve many more views!

Love the composition! Great performance! Kudos!
What a lovely performance! Sanz never met Bach, but the mix of their music is very funny here :)
Impresionante! Enhorabuena!
Utterly fantastic - practically unbelievable.
Músicos habilidosos e perfeitos para este tipo de musica Renascentistas, maravilhosamente executados como poucos no cenário musical mundial.
Skilled musicians and perfect for this type of Renaissance music, wonderfully performed like few in the world music scene.Congratulations\wow/
Anna your music is beautiful and the gentleman accompanying you is as well,,thank you so much for recording this
It was designed before over-wound guitar strings, so to get lower bass notes the strings had to be longer.
That's a theorbo, which is like a baroque harp guitar. It has 6 regular strings on the fret board and 8 harp strings played open. The harp strings add deeper bass, so they're much longer so they can reach the really low notes below the fretted strings.
I'd be tempted to fly to Poland to hear this duo live.
I'm with you, John. Sensational aren't they?
Moi aussi, vive la Pologne!!!
They blend in Bach so delightfully
+Ashok Joshi what do you mean by bach>
This piece is a mixture of the Canarios by Gaspar Sanz and parts of a Bach lute suite.
thank you!
but how I love this music!!!!!!
Phenomenal! I doubt that that the majority of people that view this grasp the total focus and commitment it takes to perform in this way. I'm speechless! WOW!
Precious!
Glorious music and performance.
Thank you so much-John
Bellissimo!
Wonderful . Thank you.
Bravissimi! 🌺💐❤️💕
I love it!!
Love this! Superb playing!
I've been addicted to this ever since I first discovered it a few years back. Amazing performance!
Wonderful (like all their videos). He always has his eyes glued to the score. She keeps her eyes on the instrument.
