Orpheus with his Lute

Orpheus with his Lute description

Fabled for its ability to seduce gods and calm mad kings, the lute has long been bestowed with magical powers. On the baroque guitar, rarely-heard vihuela da mano, and the elegant, long-necked theorbo, Argentinian Eduardo Egüez invites us into the quietly passionate world of Italian, Spanish Renaissance and Baroque solo lute music.
