Summary:

“An attractive recital. superbly played … Jacob Heringman’s effortlessly musical playing and beautiful tone – free from extraneous mechanical noise – is superbly recorded, and Lynda Sace’s annotation is deeply informative. Warmly recommended to lovers of lute music”. – John Duarte, Gramophone

Jacob Heringman is the foremost lutenist of his generation, “a master of his instrument” according to Classical Guitar magazine. He is the lutenist of choice for leading international musicians, including Barbara Bonney, Michael Chance, and The King’singers. His reputation for seeking out rare and unjustly neglected repertoire is well earned: previous solo recordings include the only solo lute CD devoted to Josquin des Prez. A veteran of the recording studio, Jacob appears on over 50 CDs as soloist, collaborator and ensemble member.
