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". Joachim Held was born in Hamburg in 1963 and studied at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis...  More Merry Melancholy(English Lute Music) New Album Album's Audio Player  The concept of "melancholy" held a special place in English art of the 16th and 17th Centuries. Rather than being considered depressive mental condition, it was seen as a deeply poetic element of soaring ecstasy with the power to inspire even bigger, even better deeds. It is no surprise that the subject of "melancholy" came to characterize much of the English music for lute, and the inspiration for much complex and colorful music. Joyful dances, contrapuntal fantasies, and pavanes which luxuriate in chromaticism are all to be found here. Only the most beautiful, haunting works were chosen for this recording. Naturally, John Dowland is represented! His "Lachrimae" was a true international HIT in it's day, and Dowland capitalized on its success by providing numerous editions and arrangements. The program also features the work of other, lesser-known masters such as MoreSylvius Leopold Weiss Baroque Festival (Grodkow, Poland - 9. April 2010)  |
