Label: DEUTSCHE HARMONIA MUNDI Catalog: 88985374332 Format: CD Michele Carreca (Renaissance lute)Born in the Italian province of Puglia, the blind lutenist composer Giacomo Gorzanis may have started his career at the Spanish court in Bari. He eventually settled in Trieste, where by 1567 he had received citizenship. His solo lute music is technically accomplished, and goes some way towards initiating the Italian dance suite. He published four collections of lute tablature and two collections of Neapolitan lute songs. 17 of the 25 pieces that Michele Carreca has selected for this album are world premiere recordings.
