Bach’s contemporary German lute virtuoso and composer Weiss left a huge literature for lute.

Lutenist Viggo Mangor has studied his instrument and music at the Royal Academy of Music in Copenhagen and at the Schola Cantorum in Basel.

Unlike most of the early music instruments which are copies of the original instruments, the lute recorded here is the 17th century original piece.
