I love your playing and the harp strings make all the difference in the sound. This is my first time ever watching you. Cynthia ❤

Love those bass notes - really hitting me in the chest!

Wonderful remarks on the character and qualities of 17th century French lute music. Thank you.

Wonderful. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful instrument, and your playing of it🌺🌺

Rob, more French lute music, please! It have grown a love for it over the last decade. "Like a perfume, you just can't find the edges of it." What a great description.

Love those French guys, and especially the tombeaus. It sounds especially beautiful on your magnificent guitar. Thanks!

that's amazing, thanks for sharing

I have always found your videos charming Rob, the way you interpret the instrument and the way you express your way of interpreting the piece are truly exquisite. Keep it up Rob

lovely as always! thanks for sharing! : - )

What a stunning piece this is, Rob. And thanks for your enlightening introduction. Glad to be a new subscriber here.

"... like a perfume". Indeed! Thanks for sharing, Rob. Best, Shelby

A magical sound, thanks! 🙂

Thank You! 🌟🎄🍀

Nice music, very good Rob, greetings.

So when I reached this higher perspective, it became clear who was my enemy and that I must try to destroy it harder.

very nice!

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste: Then can I drown an eye, unus'd to flow, For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe, And moan th' expense of many a vanish'd sight; Then can I grieve at grievances foregone, And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, Which I new pay as if not paid before. But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restor'd, and sorrows end. [WS, sonnet 30] Your playing of Gaultier's wonderfully meditative tune, his elegy in celebration of M. de L'Enclos, calls to mind this very musical poem. Admirable both ! Kudos to luthier Rohan Lowe for building this gem of an instrument, and to you, maestro, for this deeply moving, soulful performance. Heartfelt thanks, with very best wishes from France.

Hello, my friend! This was wonderful, beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas to you! Gee you must have filmed this video a very long time ago because it's all in black and white. Hope you are well! Cheers! Jerrel

I don't know why someone wouldn't enjoy the loose form of those compositions. Heck, I compose that way! Most enjoyable Rob, beautiful performance, and I wish I could afford that marvelous instrument. Thank you😊

Canny good

Great to hear the 13 string again Rob. I think I can hear hints of Robert de Visee in this piece. Very different from German Baroque, as you say, but interesting for it & pleasant.

I like the amorphous thing, but can understand how fewer people would. Also, it seems like there's a lot more freedom of interpretation so more required of the player or else it ends up being just a formless mess. :)

His speech was cute as a button.😊🎉🎉🎉❤
