Thank you to the person who recorded and posted this, who I expect, was in the audience of one of no more than 20, judging by the feeble applause. 1.6 million views and 10 years later. Pretty much exponential growth. Beautiful music.
For all those who want to know the names of the these talented artists are: Anna Kowalska baroque Guitar and Anton Birula theorbo."Lute Duo" is the name of their group.
Ms. Kowalska's playing from 2:49 till 3:03 is absolutely amazing. I've never heard a more satisfying, awesome baroque-era vihuela playing. Props to her and Mr. Birula as well! Big ups from Northern California. Bravo!!
she is great, I agree, there is also a man, called marco meloni, he is also great on baroque guitar, for me the very best in the world eventhough he is not famous at all. check on youtube his chaconne, folias, jacaras, canarios ... (from a live concert in japan) best wishes
What is the crime of the century? Easy. The crime of the century is that Lute Duo has over 1.5 million views, but only 5K subscribers. Are people today emotionally deaf? I don't care about the background noise.... This video is pure gold.
Oooooh la Bella guitare baroque ( c'est l'historique de la guitare classique tout à ses débuts ) ça c'est de l'original, bravo de présenter de si beau instruments.
Me lo pongo casi todas las noches. Esos elegantes y suaves rasgueos, los tenues y sutiles acordes, en fin la manera tan singular de tocar Anna Kovanska la guitarra barroca, me tienen enganchado. Lástima que no aparezcan en spotifay.
This is what youtube is for. I stumbled upon these two great musicians while watching a luthier video. Truly great playing, just ordered the cd from their site.
I'd die to be able to play like this ... it is just fantastic -- those base notes from the theorbo are just wonderful .... and the guitar is so beautifully played .. !
Tres belle musique et de bons musiciens. J ai pratique la guitare il y a bien longtemps avec de grands maitres et je retrouve le dynamisme et la joie degagee par cette musique, Merci,
Could anything sound more perfectly romantic than Eric & Sylvia singing madrigals in medieval French?They were invited to a castle in the Loire valley, the wallpaper behind them was faithfully restored like the original couple's initial motif wallpaper.Their voices blend so sweetly,I return to this clip almost every chance I get.They are such cute lovebirds as well!
Never heard that one before. LOL! Her words are far older than her wisdom/experience deficit allows her to realize, going back literally a thousand+ years of musical history in which the same phrase was used, translated topically to things like: "new music sucks", as many often say. Same old story, different era. The greatest and most influential composers throughout music history were met with the same comments (by some). And even more recently, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and every other innovator was spoken of in this same way: "No depth and substance" being terms sometimes used. Today, some of them are revered. Musical giants. Legends. It doesn't take a genius to see that some (not all, thankfully) of today's music will be legendary too, many decades from now. Wonder which ones though? Certainly not the cheesy stuff. But then, doesn't every decade have a large amount of dreadful and disposable pop music? Which will be remembered, and which will fade away? Let's hope our descendants are smart in their choices of whom to respect from this era...avoiding abominations like Lady Gag-Gag, Justin Beiber, or Taylor Swift.
WOW!!! So, so good... Excellent... We need more music like this... Is this what the music was really like back then... all I know is that I am very moved by this pair... she is divine... an angel... he is a prophet... Jack... 🐅🐕
Extraordinaria interpretación, ¡¡Felicidades!! Las piezas que se escuchan son: Santiago de Murcia (Códice Saldívar Nº 4, ca. 1732): - (00:27) Marionas - (04:27) Folías gallegas Gaspar Sanz (1640 - 1710) ("Instrucción de música sobre la guitarra española", Zaragoza, 1674): - (10:00) Rujero y Paradetas - (13:14) Tarantela - (15:52) Canarios Un saludo ;)
Łapka w górę dla tej pani, która tam rzeczywiście gra. Spodziewałem się, że ona będzie akompaniować i robić dobre wrażenie a tu zdziwienie - ładna pani jest wirtuozką.
These are instrumental stylizations of dance rhythms of the 16th &17th Cs. This duo adds modernisms to the fray. Very good playing. The bass instrument appears to be a chittarone which is a bass lute with metal bass strings (note their length). The chittarone was developed in the late 16th C. for accompanying the voice and was used later in ensembles, a very Italianate feature. There is a separate literature for the bass lute instruments of which there are several.
Absolutely fascinating! I love the combination of batoque guitar and theorbo! Too bad that there is so much background noise. Those two deserve a better soundquality!

I'm amazed at how "contemporary" these songs sound. Simply beautiful.

Love so much the way Anna plays...especially her version of Marionas! Brava!

Props to her and Mr. Birula as well!

Female "Buckethead".
I «discovered» the lute 55 years ago thru the recordings of Julian Bream. I am still enchanted by this instrument.
What music are they playing, era, composers?
There is nothing like hearing accomplished musicians on acoustic instruments, baroque or otherwise! Wonderful.
Why on earth anyone would not this wonderful playing by Anna and Anton is beyond me. They do a beautiful job....bravo Anna and Anton!
What is the crime of the century? Easy. The crime of the century is that Lute Duo has over 1.5 million views, but only 5K subscribers. Are people today emotionally deaf? I don't care about the background noise.... This video is pure gold.
I like how these pieces were all dance pieces, and now all people do is sit down and listen to it.
There are other videos on TH-cam of people dancing to these tunes, f.ex. Gaspar Sanz' "Canarias".
Let's ignore those who enjoy vulgarity and let's rejoice and be greatful for this wonderful music and interpretations.
So utterly inspiring. Hundreds of years ago this music was being played and enchanting audiences. Today it still does the same.
Santiago de Murcia (1674-1740) código Zaldivar:
0:00"Mariona por la B"
4:10 "Folias Gallegas"
Gaspar Sanz:
9:56 Paradetas
13:11 Tarantellas
15:50 Canarios
This should be the top comment, thank you for your contribution!
Is that Weiss what I think I heard?
Thank you.
I searched for music for the theorbo and found this. enjoying.
Oooooh la Bella guitare baroque ( c'est l'historique de la guitare classique tout à ses débuts ) ça c'est de l'original, bravo de présenter de si beau instruments.

Simply wonderful. Concerning music I have been born too late.

Me lo pongo casi todas las noches. Esos elegantes y suaves rasgueos, los tenues y sutiles acordes, en fin la manera tan singular de tocar Anna Kovanska la guitarra barroca, me tienen enganchado. Lástima que no aparezcan en spotifay.

Two great instruments, played by two great musicians!
Превосходно !!! Спасибо за музыку !!!

Thank you for posting this beautiful music and performance.The lute on the left looks like a gukelin. aka a merger of a guitar ukulele and mandolin.
This is quite possibly the best thing ever.

Brilliant! I’m visualizing some 15th century pirate feast.
I'am a lute lover, not a guitar one, but THIS guitar and THIS player is SO beautifull !
siete bravissimi!!! evviva!

WOW!!! So, so good... Excellent... We need more music like this... Is this what the music was really like back then... all I know is that I am very moved by this pair... she is divine... an angel... he is a prophet... Jack... 🐅🐕
Музыка вечной жизни. Music of eternal life I'd say.

Beautiful music, beautiful instruments and beautiful girl.
Łapka w górę dla tej pani, która tam rzeczywiście gra. Spodziewałem się, że ona będzie akompaniować i robić dobre wrażenie a tu zdziwienie - ładna pani jest wirtuozką.
Anna, sei di una dolcezza e soavita' uniche!
Thank you for your music, it's so beautiful.
Glorious sounds , beautiful , thank you,
a not sleepy version of this once upon a time "dance" music
with ruiz pipo in the middle, a nice "medley", bravo.
Beautiful, thank you !
Anna, you ravish me. Perfect technique and perfect performance.
Magnifico!
To Fenderplayer: Your response to the fools who make fun is exquisite. Bravo.
Exquisite! Even after many years, still almost unbearably beautiful.
Amazing performance! Cullman Alabama
Fantastic duo! The two instruments blend beautifully. The baroque guitarist is amazing.
Thank you. This recording made my day.

Amazing music from the original instruments of the Baroque period!
Nice,very special.thankyou.
Simply amazing , this music is timeless. Could have been written yesterday. And fantastically performed.
Великолепно ! Спасибо ! Браво !
So inspiring! Well done BRAVO!
Absolutely fascinating! I love the combination of batoque guitar and theorbo! Too bad that there is so much background noise. Those two deserve a better soundquality!
Playoff for acoustics and situation. Oh well, but I think mics could have been placed to deal with this
wkru
Muy. Hermoso. Bvivaidi
i totally disagree, this is the room acoustic, it breathes and is grand not some studio clinical sound.
Perfekte Harmonie und wunderbarer Klang .
Excelent and Briliant ! bravo.
Felicidades saludos desde México
Muchas gracias por vuestra interpretación, eleva el espíritu e ilumina el alma. Felicidades, enhorabuena por su exquisita música. Muchas gracias.
This is so good! Thank you for sharing.
