Sample this album Artist (Sample). Robert Barto is doing every lute fan out there a great service by recording these works, and this, the fifth volume in the series, is another smashing success. He again chooses a nice selection of pieces that vary in key, mood and difficulty, and the overall effect is wonderful. The contrast between the intense, melancholic f-minor sonata and the other, "sunnier" works in A-major and C-major is quite striking. If you like lute music,Barto is the best. In my Furniture Repair Shop (guitar close at hand) I keep listening to all his disks over and over again.

Weiss: Sonatas for Lute, Volume 1. Sylvius Leopold Weiss. Robert Barto has made something of a cottage industry out of recording the sonatas of prolific lute master, Sylvius Leopold Weiss. In this, the 11th issue of the series, Mr. Barto again uses his deep understanding and musical sensibility to showcase the variety and complexity that Weiss achieved in the simple and well-defined sonata form. The notes to the present album state austerely that "with the exception of a few movements of the lighter kind", Weiss's music could not be mistaken for that of Bach, Handel or Telemann, despite being in the same style. I must admit (but I will plead the ignorance of youth) that the first time I heard a suite by Weiss on the radio, I did indeed think that it was a Bach work that I hadn't heard.
