“SHEER STRANGENESS”
Jacob Lindberg, lutenist
Silvius Weiss Lute Music II
Sonatas No. 39 in C major and No. 50 in B flat major
Tombeau sur la mort de M. Comte de Logy
BIS-CD 1534
“Lindberg’s genius is not to allow impeccable
scholarship to restrict his considerable imagination”
--Gramophone
“This is very fine Weiss-playing indeed, Lindberg
capturing the melancholy grandeur, as well as the sheer strangeness,
of the Tombeau while astutely assessing the tonal contrasts
(in a light/dark sense) implicit in the varying tempi and textures
of the various dance movements and thus heightening the tension –
all the while exploiting every resource of his instrument.”
--William Yeoman, Gramophone January 2010
