It was in the second half of the sixteenth century that the guitar became fashionable in France: it was the instrument of the people, whereas the lute was associated with the intellectuals and the nobility. Henry Grenerin became a page (choirboy) in the Musique du Roi in 1641 and went on to invent a new way of playing the instrument and offer it music full of 'freedom, mystery and ardour', says Bruno Helstroffer. In the very first recording devoted to Grenerin's music, Bruno revives this unjustly forgotten composer and makes the most of his long experience as both Baroque musician and exponent of today's music. He became fascinated by this seventeenth-century composer, and his investigations led him to the Left Bank of the Seine, opposite the Louvre Palace, where Henry's grandfather was a fisherman, hence the punning title L'ame-son [French hamecon = 'fish-hook', ame-son = 'soul of sound']. A saga that has also generated a book and a stage show about Grenerin - the first in the line of 'guitar heroes' that was to lead to Django Reinhardt and Jimi Hendrix!
