the light of Roman Baroque
Rome, 1638: a lutenist from Orléans dedicates a book of lute music to a prince in Graz. This historic meeting between Pierre Gaultier and Prince Johann Anton I of Eggenberg is the inspiration for today’s king of the lute, Hopkinson Smith, and his evening of atmospheric music in Eggenberg Palace. The principal witnesses at the meeting back then were Pope Urban VIII and his court lutenist Giovanni Girolamo Kapsberger. The lute works in the Planet Hall are bathed in the light of Roman Baroque.
