AXEL WOLF  –  Lute & Theorbo

"The very first notes make clear that in his case sincerity and serenity are combined in an ideal way with technical brilliance - delightful playing completely without strain." — Concerto, 2005

 

Axel Wolf, an international leading player on his instrument, demonstrates with his solo programmes how splendid and elegant, how diverse and sensual baroque lute music can be. With authenticity and presence Axel Wolf taps the full potential of sounds on his instrument - ranging from expressive and lively arrangements of Italian opera arias to the intimacy and deep emotion of J. S. Bach's music. He appreciates the aptitude of his instrument to narrate in detail and with distinctive nuances, especially the accompaniment of musical speech on the bass strings.
