Biography Joachim Held is one of the foremost lute players of his generation. He captivates his audience with the refinement of his playing and moves the listener with expressing the different moods of the soul. In 2006 Joachim Held is the first lute player ever to receive the renowned German Echo - Klassik Award. This is in the category "Best soloist recording of the year" for his CD "Delightful Lute - Pleasure. Baroque Lute music from the lands of the Habsburgs".  More Und plötzlich war ich adlig(Release: 13 October 2009) (literally: And suddenly I was noble - My new family is called von Anhalt) "Joachim Held is a successful lute player and teaches at one of the world's most prestigious institutions - the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. He grew up in an orphanage and later with his adoptive mother. As a teenager, he learned that his biological mother is an aristocrat: Marie-Antoinette von Anhalt" More Musique pour le Roi(French Lute Music of the Baroque) In the seventeenth century France became the centre of lute music in Europe. The French lutenists, no longer content with the generally accepted tuning of the lute, started looking for new tuning intervals to meet their idea of more complex and sophisticated chords and, above all, more volume of tone. Quite different systems of tuning were tried out and resulted in marvellous music. Finally a tuning system in D Minor based on thirds emerged, and this allowed playing in keys which so far were not generally included in the lute repertoire. This D Minor tuning remained the dominant once until the decline of the instrument towards the end of the eighteenth century. The change of the tuning system was accompanied by a change in musical style. In France, representatives of the classical lute music gradually developed slightly different forms of the socalled style brisé, characterized by an elaborate blend of the voices as well as startling breaks within the melodies. |
