It is the first recording to focus on the rarely surveyed lute tombeaux repertoire of 17th-century France: examining its stylistic predecessors, application to alternative plucked instruments and its circulation. The recording is presented across a range of plucked instruments: baroque lute, renaissance lute, baroque guitar and theorbo.\n\nThe tombeau (translated as tomb) was a secular genre of instrumental music dedicated to a deceased person. They were usually written in the form of a Pavane or Allemande and presented in dark, usually barréd keys: C Minor being the most common on plucked instruments. The recording presents beautiful solemn examples of this profound repertoire, as well as works that break the conventional mould in, sometimes, the most surprising ways! A good deal of variety is included and the works provide great catharsis for mourners across the ages: for those who live and have ever lost.\n\nWorks are featured by composers including Francis Pilkington, Anthony Holborne, Jacques de Gallot, Ennemond Gaultier le vieux, Denis Gaultier, François Dufault, Francesco Corbetta, Robert de Visée, François Campion, Gallot d'Irelande, Georg Gebel and Tobias Hume.\n\nRecorded in St. Bartholomew's Church, Otford.\n\n\"There is remarkable variety in this music and MacKenzie has crafted a pleasing and engrossing whole. Meditative and beautiful without too much overt sadness, and an elegant sense of melancholy. The disc is dedicated to MacKenzie's late father, and I can think of no finer tribute.\"\n**** Planet Hugill, January 2018\n\n\"We appreciate in this recording the beautiful resonances, the beautiful sound, especially in the middle and low registers, beautiful phrasing, in short: an elegant and dignified interpretation.\"\nSociété Française de Luth, January 2018\n\n\"A profound and meditative beauty, not sadness or sorrow, characterises this lovely and fascinating recording... [An] excellent CD by young multi-instrumentalist Richard MacKenzie.\" ****\nEarly Music Today Magazine, December-February 2018 (Rhinegold Publishing)", "release_date" : "2018-01-05", "genres" :
