‘Late Night Lute’ features music both historic and contemporary for lute and theorbo

In his new album Late Night Lute, Matthew Wadsworth pairs pieces from the instrument’s history - including by John Dowland and Alessandro Piccinini among other composers - with a premiere recording of a new suite for theorbo by Stephen Goss. In the latest Gramophone podcast, he talked to Editor Martin Cullingford about the programme, and about the unique sound-world of the theorbo. 

You can download the podcast by visiting Gramophone's page at iTunes where you'll also find many other episodes to enjoy, and where you can subscribe (for free) to future podcasts. Alternatively, you can listen to the Podcast below. 

Musical excerpts throughout the podcast are taken from Late Night Lute, which is released on the Deux-Elles label, and is an Editor’s Choice recording in the August issue of the magazine.
