I Cavalieri del Liuto - The Knights of the Lute : Paul Beier

I Cavalieri del Liuto - The Knights of the Lute by Paul Beier

Paul Beier : I Cavalieri del Liuto - The Knights of the Lute.
Solo lute of the italian renaissance..

Originally it was thought that there was one "Knight of the Lute", Lorenzino Romanus, Il Cavaliere del Liuto, Eques Romanus. After new discoveries and an up-to-date biography of "The Knights of the Lute" by Mariagrazia Carlone, published in the Journal of the American Lute Society, we now know that there were two. Lorenzino Tracetti, servant of Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este until 1572, and the pious Vincenzo Pinti, resident at the palace of the Vatican Vice-chancellor under Cardinals Alessandro Farnese and Montalto (Alessandro Peretti), until his death in 1608.

As for attributing the music, it would be very hard, if not impossible, to tell which of the works recorded here were by Tracetti and which may have been by Pinti. Neither of these composers, it seems, was ever involved directly in the publication or dissemination of their works.

While the ambiguity between the two Roman knights is still maintained, the only revision that seems necessary is to the title: no longer singular, it now celebrates "The Knights of the Lute."
