"Works for Lute" is an audiophile CD release on the Glossa label that presents an intimate and refined program centered on the expressive possibilities of the lute and related early plucked instruments. Interpreted by the renowned lutenist José Miguel Moreno, with contributions from the celebrated soprano Emma Kirkby and the specialist Carlos Mena, the album explores the rich sound-world of early music with exceptional stylistic authority and emotional depth. Transparent, detailed recording and a carefully curated selection of works invite the listener into a universe of subtle colors, noble melancholy, and finely chiseled ornamentation, ideal for concentrated listening as well as for quiet, contemplative moments.
José Miguel Moreno is considered one of the leading figures in historically informed performance for plucked instruments such as the lute, vihuela and baroque guitar. Over the course of his career he has distinguished himself through highly praised recordings and concert appearances that are characterized by deep stylistic knowledge and an unforced, natural musicality. Emma Kirkby, counted among the most influential sopranos in the early music movement, is admired for her clear, agile voice and her exemplary diction; her numerous recordings have shaped the modern understanding of Renaissance and Baroque vocal music. Carlos Mena has made a name for himself as an attentive, stylistically precise interpreter of early repertoire, particularly through his work with specialized ensembles and high-quality recordings.
Glossa is an independent label with a strong focus on early music and historically informed performance practice. Known for its high production standards, elegant presentation and carefully researched programs, Glossa has built a reputation as a reference label for demanding listeners. The collaboration with top-class artists such as Moreno, Kirkby and Mena underlines the label's commitment to authenticity, artistic depth and sonic excellence, making "Works for Lute" a compelling choice for lovers of Renaissance and Baroque music and for all who appreciate finely crafted, timelessly elegant sound worlds.
