From the album "Jakob Lindberg - Weiss: Sonatas played on the unique 1590 Sixtus Rauwolf Lute"
"The selection of pieces is very well chosen, including the Sonata in A minor "L'Infidèle" and the remarkable Ciaccona in E flat, works that demonstrate Weiss' feelings about French and Italian practice, respectively. Weiss' music is like that of J.S. Bach in that it encompasses the regional influences within the greater of Europe of his day, but attempts to forge a single strand from them. Lindberg plays all of this music beautifully, the recording is warm and very close, yet BIS has wisely not attempted to tamper with the moderately quiet output of this lute by jacking it up in the mix; it is a very pleasing and natural recording. Weiss Sonatas Played on the Unique 1590 Sixtus Rauwolf Lute is a triumph to all concerned and should appeal to an audience outside the tiny community of lute nuts out there. If you're looking for something that is musically substantive to concentrate or chill out to, Weiss Sonatas Played on the Unique 1590 Sixtus Rauwolf Lute would be a wonderful choice."
