Hi Paul,
Thanks for leaving a message on my board. I'm not a member of "The Lute Society" despite the fact that I once knew a former society secretary quite well. I sort of never got around to joining. I was once in the midland early music forum though.
You asked "how you became interested in this wonderful music." Well I had played steel guitar (think badly played Bob Dylan) for quite a while when I decided to try to learn to play "classical" guitar properly. Unfortunately the only "classical" guitar music I really liked was in fact renaissance lute music. So I gave up the classical guitar and bought a lute!
Yes I like Bream's interpretations. He had a way of bringing lots of character out of the pieces. My favourite players though are Jacob Lindberg and Anthony Rooley.
Good luck with the playing (you'll need it with some of the pieces!)
Bye
Luteman
