On this album, lutenist Toyohiko Satoh takes on one of the most famous and enigmatic works of French baroque lute literature: The collection "La Rhetorique 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.
