DISS 2015: Late Night Lute Music of the German Baroque

DISS 2015: Late Night Lute Music of the German Baroque

“David Miller’s lute playing is sensitive and agile. Whether pleading for God’s redemption or wooing a lover, both singer and lutenist capture the word painting which is such a feature and strength of these songs” Charlotte Gardner, BBC

David Miller: lute
