Les Accords Nouveaux II
The Lute Society Magazine, 1999
Sigrun Richter plays this music with a rhetorical flair that brings out the individual character of each piece to full effect. These are pieces written by men who perfectly understood the resources of their instrument, and in Sigrun Richter they have found an interpreter who is resourceful enough to make the music as alive today as it must have been when it first charmed the ear.
For such an art and such an artist we can only be thankful; and if music is utterly of its time, when played by such a lutenist, the pleasure it will give proves timeless.
