Johann Georg Weichenberger - Works For Lute

Held, Joachim

This new release showcases the high quality of Johann Georg Weichenberger's fascinating compositions, which now – finally – get a well deserved recording. “Weichenberger certainly must have had a certain reputation. In the New Groves Wolfgang Bötticher writes that he was held in high esteem “although he was only an amateur”. The more recent perspective does not follow this disparagement, with good reason. Considering the beautiful works by these composers the idea of dilettantism is far from the truth. We find first class compositions. Weichenberger's compositions touched me especially because of their beauty and naturalness.” (Joachim Held)
