Hopkinson Smith has been described as "one of the world's real masters of the lute". We were honored to have him visit our studio at WGBH to play music of an early 17th century French master lutenist, Robert Ballard, as well as a couple of pieces by his English contemporary, John Dowland. Robert Ballard (Works primarily from the Premier livre de luth, Paris, 1611): Entrée de Luth; Courante de la Reyne; 4 Branles de Village. John Dowland (Works primarily from the Varietie of Lute Lessons, London, 1610): Pavin la Mia Barbara; Lady Hunsdon’s Allmande. Recorded in a live broadcast at WGBH's Studio One on November 10, 2005. ©2006 WGBH Educational Foundation. http://www.wgbh.org/classical email: classical@wgbh.org
