Info for Suzanne un Jour

Sixty minutes of lute music with a feel, made up of works that are both lighthearted and profound. Pieces by the filled with beauty and elegance have corne down to us, and A\\ban Tixier, a professional lutenist, performs them with great generosity.

Here we are in the 21st century, and it has only been a few decades since the European lute regained its long-lost popularity. Playing the lute, once the prerogative of a few guitarists who were curious about once-prestigious instruments, has evolved over time, and can now be learned from childhood on. Alban Tixier is one of these "lute children" - lutenists who, rather than straying from their first instrument, were raised with the lute, as it were.

One might consider this a relatively unimportant development, because the lute is still a little-known instrument today. In my opinion, however, it builds a very special bridge between two eras. To explain this idea, it's easier to refer to language. One's mother tongue isn't merely the language in which one is the most technically proficient; it's the language we're most intimate with, and that goes beyond us, because it's rooted in childhood memories. When we learn a foreign tongue later in life, however gifted at languages we may be, it will probably always remain "foreign" to us.
