Francesco da Milano
The way many CGists feel about Bach's Ciaccona from the D minor Partita,
I feel about a few of this composer's Fantasias and Ricercars; Ness 5 being
my personal Everest. Glenn Gould's line "better written than it can ever be played" fits this piece perfectly, I think. David Tanenbaum's 1986-7 CD
'Lute Masterworks' was my introduction to Milano, and I'm so glad he
recorded these pieces, on a great, strong-sounding spruce Gilbert, to boot..
A *really* good, intense recording, IMO.
Anyone else here into Francesco da Milano, by chance?
