Edward Martin - Art of the Lute in Renaissance France
Edward Martin plays Renaissance music for the lute. Early music is so simple and folksy and fun; I love it! Tracks are usually shorter than 2 minutes. Highlights include tracks 13, 17, 34, and 36.

I love lute and i play it.Music is quite good.I think that you shoud try to bring some more instruments,like violin and some flute to break monotone.

You have a very peacefu, gentle sound, Edward, quite similar to Paul O’Dette. But in all honesty I feel you are more pleasurable to listen then Paul O’Dette if you can believe it. Thank you for this recording.

The music is good, the problem is the player, who doesn’t have enough technique to master these (even THESE easy) pieces… To compare this with Paul O’Dette is like a joke, you can’t compare amateur-players with professionals…
