Info for La Rhétorique des Dieux



On this album, lutenist Toyohiko Satoh takes on one of the most famous and enigmatic works of French baroque lute literature: The collection "La Rhétorique des Dieux" published by Denis Gaultier (1603-1672). Satoh's interpretation is entirely committed to the profound simplicity and clarity of this music, which for him carries the spirit of Japanese Zen and only begins to shine not through virtuosity and emotion but, on the contrary, by engaging with the emptiness between the sounds, with the simple playing of what is.

"Toyohiko Satoh's works fascinate from the first to the last sound wave. Jonas Niederstadt's recording technique seems to me unsurpassably faithful and sensitive. There are supposed to be peculiarities in the tuning of the sounds that do not correspond to the listening habits standardised by electronic tuning devices. This is part of the appeal of the recordings. Recommended listening and purchase! (Bernhard Schumacher)
