Niklas Trustedt - Vierzehn ernste Gesange zur Gambe gesungen - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Prominent examples abound, and have done so for millennia - from Orpheus in ancient mythology to the troubadours of the Middle Ages to numerous stars of our day playing an instrument to accompany oneself while singing is one of the oldest forms of performance. Niklas Trustedt takes us on a journey through these songs, from Tobias Hume, to Mauchaut, to Brahms, and Kreger. Trustedt also includes an original composition. Niklas Trustedt is a renowned string player specializing in early instruments. He is based in and teaches in Berlin.
