Standing in stark contrast to so-called “virtuoso” works, these pieces use the beautiful resonance of the lute to depict the murmur of a waterfall, the songs of birds, nature, and the act of love.\n\nThe instrument used is an 11-course Baroque lute crafted by Martin de Vitte in 2009. It is an exact replica of the original “Laurentius Greif” lute, made around 1600 and owned by Toyohiko Sato.\nTokyo M Plus\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nostalgia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53539274228001,"sku":"4947182109915","price":468.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4947182109915.jpg?v=1789971070","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-mx\/products\/4947182109915","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
