If Weiss had left us with music for orchestra, voices, or keyboard, he would be routinely mentioned along with Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi. If he is not, it is likely because lute music is, today, not easily accessible to the musical public, except on recordings, such as these. Still, Barto's playing is outstanding in all respects and a pleasure to hear.
Weiss was a lutenist - Bach was an all-round musician and composer: there is a world of difference. We have no way of knowing if Weiss was capable of writing music for anything other than the lute. The fact that he seems not even to have tried argues that he couldn't, and recognised it: he knew his strength and did not stray outside it. Chopin is a similar case: his piano music reaches the greatest heights possible, but his few attempts at orchestral writing are unimpressive.
@@DieFlabbergast He actually *did* try. We know from written accounts that he composed a small amount of chamber music with strings, but these pieces are unfortunately lost today. Weiss obviously has intimate music theory knowledge or he wouldn't be able to compose such masterful counterpoint. It is very likely that he had familiarity with keyboard, though he wrote no music for it (this is also true of composers like Vivaldi or Corelli).
It is unfortunate that his only surviving music is for the lute, but this is for obvious reasons, he was ultimately a damn fine lutenist.
Actually we found some of his ensemble stuff in the Harrach/Rohrau manuscript. It's real good. @@sameash3153
@@iiirdeyeheretik I just discovered the Tempesta di Mare recordings of his concertos the other week. Heard it on classical radio, blew my mind when the announcer said it was Weiss. Real good stuff. Honestly it was better than I could have imagined it.
@@sameash2990 and
I stumbled on this years ago and it was perhaps the best musical discovery I ever made. Just absolutely glorious music.
So true.💫
Same here!
I discovered the works of Weiss years ago thinking it was JS Bach because no one could write such beautiful lute music. I was wrong. :)
Same here! I bought all of the Weiss/Barto cds on Naxos. Great stuff.
Please, if you ever thought of giving up on the future of humanity, listen to this, it demonstrates the beauty of ourselves, if only given half a chance
He was the greatest lute composer.
His sense of pace, and the elegance of his writing for the lute, combined with a singular eloquence in utilizing the expressive power of the lute were unsurpassed.
What about Bach's lute works?
@@amarillohendrix4207 Weiss is better than Bach for lute, hands down. Weiss is lute god.
@@zappafile123 Correct. Wess is baroque Luth's top notch. Bach's Luth works are mostly transcriptions from other instrument that he played magnificently. However, Bach's is undoubtedly better music.
Despite being the court lutenist to the Saxon king, Weiss sought out Bach's friendship. Look it up.
@@amarillohendrix4207 They were written by Bach under the impression from the works of Weiss after they got acquainted. Weiss was better lutenist (who friendly competed with JSB in fugue improvisation), Bach was better composer :)
This is the reason why I keep studying classical guitar. Sublime.
this is not guitar is lute
Best wishes for a glorious musical journey.
@@shiroumxm2052 I'm quite sure that "edsa1318" knows that and doesn't need to be upbraided.. His/Her comment is entirely apt, IMO, since the lute is the precursor to the guitar.
A happy childhood memory. Between showings, in a theater that is no more, they would play Weiss' timeless music. One could feel content and needing nothing else.
To me music like this is a mainstay In my everyday life !
I have not yet heard a single one of Weiss's lute compositions that are not harmonically rich, inventive or dull... I could listen for hours. Just divine!! ♥️
Lutes are gorgeous instruments both in appearance and in sound.
Lovely, in a gloriously feminine sort of way.
Многие прекрасные инструменты барокко в будущем неоправданно забылись. Музыка мастеров барокко самое трогательное что я слышал. Это так прекрасно.
I adore listening to this while I am eating. So civilised; relaxing yet alert.
Thank you ♥️
Музыка, гармонизирующая пространство...не надоедает на сон грядущий уже сколько времени...
Absolutely Beautiful. Such Wonderful Sounds Played By The Master. The Past Speaks.

מאוד נהניתי וגם מאוד אוהבת - מרומם נפש בעיקר בימי קורונה -שנה טובה בריאה ומאושרת👏💐
👏👏💐🌺
This genius surely is a match for J.S. Bach. Quality of the highest order runs through all this music. I could not be distracted from listening until the last note of the final piece had been played.
Hola, que maravilla es Silvius L. Weiss, me conmueve y emociona, Magno compositor, a la altura del gran J.S. Bach...
Mir kommen die Tränen wenn ich bedenke in welch Hölle wir uns hineingearbeitet haben all die Jahre, -der Verlust des Paradieses klingt schmerzlich durch diese wundervolle Musik!
hölle dich ein tief durch atme....
Bravo!
Weiss needs a great musician to bring out the magic and found one here - effortless, natural and imaginative.
Wonderful playing... absolutely. And Weiss is absolutely under-appreciated.
Some musicologists suggest that 'Weiss' might have been a pseudonym used for Bach lute compositions.
I have loved this guy to bits since a long time...he is transcendatally mystic, wise, powerful and graceful...
@@wilfreddamon1971 - I hear a different compositional voice, myself. Weiss is all his own, and just wonderful.

I could listen to this all day! Very pleasant!
Whenever I'm down or whatever I can always count on my friend Silvius Leopold, whose music is so harmonious and beyond its sheer formal beauty carries such an emotional range and a true healing vibe. Thanks for posting this!
I completely agree. I was in a mood and found this was exactly what needed to find my balance.
He is a programmer's best friend. The best friend to a code monkey with a cat.

Totally. Were it not for the arts and artiss, "the hurtful misery of the world" (as St.. Vincent Ferrer so poignantly described it) would be extremely difficult (if not impossible) to bear, IMO.

My heart is rent, thinking of my beloved children and how I want to hold their little hands and hold them when I get to Heaven. Heal my heart o Lord.
Ｉ think that there was always fantastic music at the home of Weiss.
How wonderful it is.
If hear nice music from his house, I'm sure I will fall in love with it.
beautiful playing - everything flows so naturally - allowing the wistful beauty of the music 2 truly shine
Well stated.✨
so gentle and soft
I have spent many hundreds of hours listening to Bach Cello Suites alone, not to mention his other musical works I listen to all downtime hours of the day, how have I not run across Weiss sooner??!
Esta é daquelas músicas que nos transportam no tempo... que nos fazem visualizar tempos amáveis, serenos e íntimos (tempos formatados em preconceitos, evidentemente, que foram tempos de cólera). Mas, sempre uma música que se ouve como se tivesse sido escrita agora mesmo. Uma música, afinal de contas, intemporal, necessária, amável e deliciosa de se ouvir. Agradecido pela partilha, HarpsichordM

Me parece una música maravillosa para oir buscando serenidad y paz de espìritu.
Para dormir, te refieres, ¿no? ¡Jejee! Yo es que nunca he sabido lo que es el espíritu, ¿me puedes explicar que es? ¿Algo así como el sentimiento? El sentimiento, el sentir, referente a los sentidos... El espíritu, referente a... ¿A qué?
Que suerte haber encontrado esta música.
I was so waiting for this! Bob Bart is my favorite lute player by far. He has all the skills required to play Leo Weiss. The most important one is to admire and respect the silence.
we honor the silence, amongst ourselves, amongst ourselves
Pura y simplemente, belleza. ¡Gracias por compartirla con el mundo!
Extraordinario!!
Lovely. So delightful to sit and just listen. Thank you.
Weiss sempre grandioso stupisce sempre. Ottimo Robert Barto

You are always welcome, Juan !
Hey Bruno, I'm from Argentina, and you?
Cool! Next time I go to Brazil (eu adoro o Brasil) we'll share some beers. Deal?
I have played quite a bit of Weiss on guitar. Not anymore I'm getting a lute.
Atemporel et relaxant !
Very pleasing to my ears.
Beautifully played!

a joy to listen to :)
Sir, you don't play an instrument, rather, with your instrument and your virtuosity, you evoke happy and joyful emotions. Many compliments on your musicianship! First time I listened, I listened to 100% of the duration of the performance.
How enriching this is. Absolute music poetry!
Maravilloso !!!
16th/17th Cent music for the incomparably-sweet lute is of the pinnacles of western art music. We are so blessed to have the music of Weiss & Dowland....
I concur.
very nice indeed and fantastic playd, GREAT, thank you!
Great pieces with a truly remarkable sense of melody, a joy to listen to.
Precioso. Muchas gracias. Un abrazo grande desde Mendoza Argentina

Silvius Leopold Weiss Lute Sonatas, Robert Barto
My own personal space and meditation whilst listening to this beautiful and pulsating music was ruined by the unwelcome and raucous adverts. that obtruded. at the least expected times. (I ought not to have to resort to paying cash to have such irritations removed in the future).
Download AdBlock - free and it works brilliantly. I agree there's nothing worse than having this delightful music crashed by adverts! :-)
ad blocker
I had been where you are re obnoxious ad-interruptions - & resent not so much paying for wonderful music as being the passive object of "push" marketing. The various ad blockers work unreliably. By chance, I tried Opera browser, for different reasons; it seems to block ads consistently. I'm told the same is true of the browser Brave. We should spend our money buying audio CD's, or downloads that we own (not rent); we should also respect YT in running ads that a.) are inserted before/after compositions; & b.) are chosen to bear some relation to the expected tastes & interests of, in our case, listeners to classical music. Personally, I have yet to see any statistical evidence that push marketing & big-data spying actually increases sales revenue to various manufacturers &/or vendors of any product or service. There seems, instead, to be a cultural issue of wanting to control the public at large. Just a thought.
Thank you very much for this deep, precise and touching recording which gives me back the feeling that it exists an intact world
Love this recording

Thanks for the upload. Thank you UA-cam. I would never have found this music if you had not uploaded it and UA-cam had not put it in my queue. I am buying the CD now.
Music is enjoyable, to my ear, for it's melody. Barto plays Weiss so well, and continual melodic phrasing makes ancient lute music quietly enjoyable. Bravo.
It is really like heaven!
yo sista maddy is like tripin in sum phat angel dust an stuff. all the niggas dig this mega soundz.
Danke.👍

Splendid.

Absolutely fantastic! Very soothing, to de-stress! Thank you!
Remarkable & masterful interpretation of Weiss' great works. Agree w/ Mssr.'s Bang & Masson. Thanks to all.
Wonderful!
When I started listening to Weiss.. 35 years ago, it was Hopkinson Smith tout cour... We even went to see a concert in Vicenza, Italy.. in a most beautiful Romanic Church. Then Barto.. (what Barto??? but he's so generous.. Weiss all over the place on youtube... and does he know how to play!) there are twi pieces though.. Tombeau sur la mort de M. de Logy and the Suite II D major which I have never found in Barto's vast repertoire.. so my bond with HS remains (spectacular person he is) I know less about Barto.. but the way he touches Weiss shows me that he must have some towering aspects... thanks for publishing!
Before Hopkinson Smith there was Eugen Mueller-Dombois, who was one of Hoppy's mentors and preceded him as a teacher at the Schola Cantorum Basilensis. A few selections from his LP recordings of Weiss (among other composers) have been posted to UA-cam, receiving much less attention than they deserve. These are Weiss:

....ok ...then
I got some lute songs stuck in my head from playing Skyrim. Still the classical guitar is most romantic out of the string instruments IMO.
Beautiful. Didn't know of him before

Sir, this encapsulates the essence of Baroque Grandeur, Zeitgeist, tenderness, pathos,levity, the whole gamut of human emotions...for me the Baroque Suite was the harbinger of the European Union in the 18th Century , and Mr. Barto your rendition of these Sonatas is easily one of the best I've encountered. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Harry S. Joseph, Bangalore, India
Great fine melodia
wonderful!
Simply beautiful, great listening music for any time any where
Transfixing lutenistic joys!! Captivating on so many elegant levels! Impeccable doigte
Chapeau Roberto, great perfoemance. Style, poetry, technique, you have all
Currently learning to play this suite on a thirteen-string guitar.
Awesome!
Hi, great that you now try a 13 string guitar but why not the original, a lute. I know a luthier in Turkey who builds absolutely fabulous lutes for very modest prices. I bought a 14 course for around Euro and a 11 course for a bit less. All instruments including strong and effective cases. My address; Jan Willem Poelen / jwpoelen@gmail.com
I forgot to mention prices 14 course around E 1,100, 11 course a bit less. The 14 course is an Arciliuto which means with an extended neck.
