Weiss is a great composer of the same height as Bach, Händel, Zelenka or Vivaldi. Of his vast catalogue only survived almost 600 pieces for lute solo, that's the main reason of he's now a little known composer. Just listen to this superb performance by Hopkinson Smith, the best lutenist of our time, his impressive technique, soft touch and depth makes this CD a meditation with the spiritual message of baroque music.
