Summary:

"Only four concertos by Dresden lutenist Silvius Leopold Weiss (1687-1750) are known to survive. Not only was he the greatest lutenist of the eighteenth century, both by contemporary and modern appraisal, he was also a fine composer, bearing favorable comparison to his friend Johann Sebastian Bach for the quality of his compositions and improvisations, a point to which his many surviving lute solos attest. The four works comprising this volume were composed during Weiss's tenure as lutenist at Dresden, and include a concerto for lute with four-part strings; a concerto grosso for lute, flute, violin, viola da gamba, and cello with ripieno strings; and two concertos for lute with two violins and cello. All were reconstructed from the extant lute tablatures in Dresden and Augsburg; any other accompanying parts or scores are lost. These works can also be heard on the Chandos CD, Silvius Leopold Weiss: Lute Concerti, CHAN 0707." -- Provided by publisher.
