What an absolutely stunning piece of music! I love this Andante, it is brilliant and absolutely beautiful. Played in this setting, I hear it as a slow dance between the past and the present of this Church. It is quite sad, and seems to describe the state the deconsecrated Church is now in, while also invoking its gracious past. I love the melody, it is beautiful, and beautifully played, your tone gentle and reflective The harmonies, discords and changing tempos are wonderful. The emotional and sonic qualities of the music evoke a dreamlike state, where the past and the present are in disjunction, creating a musical and artistic enigma or hiatus which I can both hear and see. It's stunning Alberto, a remarkable interpretation and performance of an extraordinary composition. Thank you so much, and thank you Stefan for writing this Sonata, and for dedicating it to Alberto. It is fascinating!!!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!

Lovely music, lovely performance and outstanding lute sound

I have listened to your whole "Transcriptions" Series today, in order, they are a very beautiful set. Each time you upload one, I wonder what the next one will be. The simplicity and beauty of the melody of "Tomorrow's Song" makes it very memorable and touching, the tone of your lute and the mood you create are haunting. It replays vividly in my mind, creating a myriad of emotions. I look forward to your next performance in this wonderful Series Alberto, thank you.

that lute looks expensive

Very beautiful!

Played in this setting, the melancholy of "Tomorrow's Song" is profound. I can't separate your interpretation from the setting of the Church, with its great beauty corroded by time, suggesting the inevitability of the passing of time, that time is eternal change. There is a great feeling of wistfulness and regret in the music, that nothing can be held, that no matter how beautiful something is, it will pass. That's why your interpretation is so sad to me. This song is one of those that seems to be for all times and places. It is wonderful

Time takes the present away, and also takes tomorrow away. The sadness of this song is overwhelming. This is how you play this beautiful song in this lovely old Church. How poignant it is.

As always how wonderfully played ! Great composition too.

Alberto, this is so stunning. The song, and your interpretation and performance of it, are exquisite. The dusky sound and tone of your Baroque lute express shades of meaning and emotion I haven't heard in this song before. It sounds to me to be the perfect instrument for its performance. Tomorrow, that unknown place of dreams and sorrows, so simple, so beautiful, and so moving. Thank you for your perfect, heartfelt performance, and for the lovely piano graphic.

Che sorpresa! :-) Suona bene anche con il liuto. Grazie maestro Crugnola!

Stunning, just stunning, thank you.

I am intrigued by this music, it really fleets along. It sounds to be music of a city environment. The rhythm and beat are wonderful, the guitar sound very mysterious. The music seems to count time within itself, so time seems to pass faster in the fast parts, and more slowly in the slow parts! Time overall seems to pass in an instant, as if it has been speeded up, rather than the piece being 3:45 minutes long! It is very beautifully played, and repays close attention and listening. Thank you!

Gorgeous, fabulous to hear!! It's always great to hear two players in complete sympathy and sync at speed. The contrasting tone of the two instruments works really well. Great setting, love the old stone house! Lovely, thank you Alberto and Marcello!

Gorgeous. Thank you so much Alberto and Marcello !

Per iniziare la giornata in allegria. Molto bella

Love the playing - remarkable sound from the relatively narrow body of the instrument. (In the video would rather see more playing and less flowers!)😊

In the light of world events at the moment, the peace and tranquility of this lovely Sarabande and Chiesa are very welcome. Art such as this calms and purifies the heart, soul and spirit. Thanks for it Alberto, it is much needed.

What a truly gorgeous Sarabande this is!!! Weiss' Sarabandes played by you are heaven on earth!!! The more I listen to this Sarabande, the more gorgeous it sounds and the more I want to listen to it!! The tone of your Baroque lute here is celestial, dreaming, fantastic! You are one of the great players of Sarabandes Alberto, and I hope you record more of them. I'm so glad you have recorded this one. I wonder how Bach heard it when he decided to transcribe this Sonata? He must have loved it.... BRAVO!!!!!! More Weiss Sarabandes!!!!!

Wonderfull Crugnola 👏👏👏

Bellezza celeste.... Grazie!

This is exquisite in all ways Alberto, touching and moving. You play a gentle tribute to this beautiful little Chiesa di Santa Maria degli Angeli. The melody, sound and tone are delicate and radiant, absolutely wonderful. Your sense of wonder is alive to the beauty of these frescoes, painted in the 15th century, and recently conserved and restored. Thank you for showing so many closeups of them. The drawn portraits are stunning, it is a gorgeous altarpiece! I wonder what the scratched inscription from 1559 means? I haven't heard a solo Baroque lute performance of this exquisite Sarabande before. It is no wonder J.S.Bach transcribed Sonata 47, into the "Trio for Violin and Harpsichord" in A Major BWV1025. I hope you will play other movements from Weiss' Sonata 47. Your video and performance are so peaceful and beautiful, they are good for the heart and soul. Thank you and BRAVO!!!!!!

Bravo maestro!

Wonderful !

Again, very beautiful!

Bravissimo 👏

👌🏻

This is really very beautiful and so well played!!

I absolutely love this, the colors, the harmonies, the gorgeous dramatic bass, the bright treble lines, the sheer originality and newness of this composition. I hear the sound waves as a sea of sound, and feel the waves of sound wash over me, a flood of sound. It is brilliant, brilliantly played, the lute tone ravishing. BRAVO!! to Stefan and Alberto.....BRAVO!!!!!!!

What a fascinating composition this is. The subtle colors of the music and of the frescoes and masonry of the church are gorgeous, a huge watercolor of light. The music floats, drifts and dreams, it is as if the sun rises in this place, chasing away the shadows of the night, giving it new life. The continuous rhythm of the rising, falling and interweaving arpeggios is beautiful. I am a fan of Stefan Olof Lundgren's work, the pieces you play on your new CD "Am I Dreaming?" Contemporary Music for Baroque Lute are just STUNNING!! I have been listening to the CD on Spotify, and the whole CD is stunning! It is clear that you love Stefan's music and love playing it, it has become part of yourself. I am very happy to hear you play it, and to see this lovely old church restored and given new life! BRAVO!!!!!! and thank you!!

Ottima. Buona giornata

This canopy mark: 'tis the work of a fay; Beneath its rich shade did King Oberon languish, When lovely Titania was far, far away, And cruelly left him to sorrow, and anguish There, oft would he bring from his soft-sighing lute Wild strains to which, spell-bound, the nightingales listened; The wondering spirits of heaven were mute, And tears 'mong the dewdrops of morning oft glistened. In this little dome, all those melodies strange, Soft, plaintive, and melting, for ever will sigh; Nor e'er will the notes from their tenderness change; Nor e'er will the music of Oberon die. John Keats

good job, i subscribe to your channel, thanks for sharing

This Bourree was written in the 18th century, your Baroque lute was designed in the 18th century and built in the 20th century, the Grain Mill was built in the first half of the 19th century, and you are 21st century!! What a combination!! The single most striking thing in the iconic image of you playing inside the Mill is the sophistication of the design of your Baroque lute. It just shines as a 'fit for purpose' invention of human ingenuity. The implements and structures around you have dated, are 'old technology', no longer used. Your lute can produce a vast range of works, depending on the knowledge, skill and artistry of the player, historical works, contemporary works, to a level of perfection only limited by who is playing. It is timeless, and it absolutely looks and sounds it. This says something very special about musical instruments. Thanks for this great, unforgettable image that brings this point home for me very powerfully. And thanks for the beautiful Bourree!!!

The sound of this Bourree suggests to me the cycle of activity that would have existed here when the Grain Mill of Turro was operatonal. The rhythms of the music recreate the life of the Mill, suggesting a happy, bustling atmosphere of cooperative work. I'm enjoying your recent focus on the works of Weiss, and see that you have updated your "Weiss" Series playlist, and others, today!!! I look forward to your new recordings, and wonder what they are!

Just wonderful Aberto! Been really enjoying your performances in different locations :)

Trés beau!

Exquisite, just exquisite Alberto, so beautiful. Thank you.

Che meraviglia ❤

What a treat!!!! In every way. You could be the main angel playing on earth making it a bit of musical heaven Alberto 3 cheers!

Lindo demais! 💖

Superb!

Bravo maestro!

Heavens Alberto, this is exquisite and immaculate!! I am in awe of your interpretation and performance of this great Sarabande and Menuet. You are in your element here, your musical gifts are on full display in these inventive late works of Weiss. The sound is sublime and celestial, the sweet delicacy of your interpretation magical. It is an unforgettable performance of great sensitivity, detail and beauty. Your articulation, phrasing and dynamics are wonderful, the color and expressiveness of the 16th century frescoes reflected perfectly in the music. You play with passion and intensity to give a sensational performance Alberto, BRAVO!!!!!! And thank you for the gorgeous Chiesa di Santa Maria!!!

Che splendida Sarabande. Bravissimo!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

非常好的演奏，愛來自中國❤

😍🥰💖

I love your use of ornamentation in this performance. It is detailed, rich and vibrant in the Sarabande, emphasizing the beauty of the melody, and complementary to the decoration of the Basilica. The overall effect of both the Sarabande and the Bourree is regal, with a great sense of occasion, telling their story so well. I love the way the sound becomes part of the Basilica, as if this music had been playing here for hundreds of years. The Basilica and the music become one as I listen. It is a gorgeous performance Alberto, from the heart, with a strong feeling of spontaneity, another jewel in the crown of your Weiss recordings. BRAVO!!! I would love to be able to visit this Basilica! I'm sure this music would be playing as I walked in the door!! Oh well!!

Very beautiful! You are a great lute player!
