Description:
Raufensteiner, often mentioned in the same breath as Weichsteiner. Toyohiko Sato’s latest work is “the pinnacle of the cantabile style”! “The Splendid Style: The Music of Weichenberger” (Nostalgia0401) was selected for the Music History Award at the 46th Record Academy Awards in 2008, and in 2009, he released “Steps: German Music for Two Baroque Lutes” (Nostalgia0801) with his beloved daughter, Miki Sato. Based in both Japan and the Netherlands, he continues to perform at a level worthy of his title as Japan’s leading baroque lute player. His fourth recording, released on his independent label “Nostalgia,” features the music of Laufensteiner, a little-known master of the cantabile style. Born in 1676 in the town of St. Arno an der Enns, located in central Austria, Laufensteiner held the prestigious position of music teacher to the four sons of Maximilian II, Elector of Bavaria, beginning in 1712. Raufensteiner’s lute music boasts such excellence that it is held in equal esteem alongside the works of Leopold Weiss, a leading lute player of the time who enjoyed overwhelming fame; Raufensteiner is enshrined in music history as a master of the “cantabile style.” Laurentius Greif, a historic instrument dating from 1610 that was also used in recordings by Weichenberger and Roussage de Riché, brings to life Laufenstainer’s music—which can truly be called the “supreme art of the cantabile style.” Toyohiko Sato and the legendary Grief shed light on Raufensteiner’s artistry—which, while leaving a distinct legacy, including the transition from the French “broken style” (a free and unrestrained style) to the resonant, singing “cantabile style,” had remained overshadowed by Weiss.
