In this recording Luca Pianca explores the enchanting world of 17th-century French music. He introduces the listener to the unique and refined musical style of the Grand Siècle, where the lute and theorbo reigned supreme.

Ennemond Gautier le Vieux, a notable lutenist and composer, left an indelible mark on the French lute tradition of the time. His work laid the groundwork for future musicians, including luminaries like Robert de Visée, who would go on to craft their own musical masterpieces.

The timeless elegance of these compositions perfectly illustrates the glorious musical landscape of 17th-century France.
