Lately, I find myself drawn more and more to lute. Thank you for your wonderfully skilled performance.
+T Oadaly That's great to hear - thank you for listening!
+silvadesirenas v If you don't mind me asking. Where or how did you exactly learn how to play the lute?
+slycooper11892 I learned it from great teachers, studying at various conservatories in Europe.
This way one should play Weiss. Every sound is respected and found. Wonderful !
I wish I could play Weiss like this.
Thank you very much!!
my my what a lovely sound..and a Sarabande....so well played. many thanks for this Bernhard. It should educate many who have only listened to Weiss... and Bach for that matter on the guitar.
+onemexican1 Thank you, that's great to hear!
I have never heard anyone play the lute as marvelously as you. The way your notes come very clean and very emotional makes me think that the lute was probably one of the biggest advancements in human history.
Thank you very much! I agree that the lute is one of the high points!
Moved to tears! thank you so much for this wonderful interpretation.
Well, that’s as good as it gets. For me it is the most beautiful performance of Weiss on the internet.
Thank you very much, Rob, much appreciated!
@@bernhardhofstotter5547 You can pay me later 😎 Joking aside, I have this CD now, and it is excellent. I’ve also ordered you Lviv vinyl LP. Do you have any other albums on vinyl? Rob
@@RobMacKillop1 Many thanks, ok, noted :-) The Lviv CD is the only one also available on vinyl - lute music on vinyl is a very small market...
@@bernhardhofstotter5547 Understood. Very expensive to manufacture, and not many buyers.
Beautiful playing. The baroque lute is quickly becoming my favourite genre of music, it relaxes me, and puts my mind to peace. Thank you for this wonderful performance and I hope you can record many more.
Thank you for you comment! Yes, more to come!
I seriously see you everywhere.... This is getting insane.
Themostamazinguy
Haha! I guess I comment a lot. I should get a life.
***** Same XD. All i do all day is play video games, then take small brakes just to find some more music, then occasionally i'll do some homework due over break lol.
It's like being whispered too by another musical human being
a very nice execution with good style, and good technik.bravo.
Monteilhet
Thank you!
brillant, perfekt ! Danke !
Vielen Dank!
Esta fue la obra de Weiss que melodicamente me hizo indagar para llegar a ella , la escuche dentro de varias sonatas y me resaltó este movimiento con 15 años.. pasaron 10, y creo que eres el único al cual se la escuche, cada nota es especial,
Muchas gracias! Great comment. The music of Weiss is an enormous treasure, witch so many things to discover.
Absolutely love this. The lovely scene add so much to the mood.
Tecnica perfetta e interpretazione intensa. Bravo!
Mille grazie!
Very nice.
Very nice...... Thank you so much my friend 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹
Thank you very much!!

Genial Maestro...felicidades por esta belleza de trabajo...
Very nice!
Thank you!
Thank you!!
¡muchas gracias!
Please may I ask who is the luthier of this lute? It looks smaller than your average baroque lute....
The lute was made by Hendrik Hasenfuss and the stringlength is 69 cm.
beautiful and peaceful
molt bonic!!!!!
Thank you!!
¡muchas gracias! More to come, I hope! Saludos.
The lute is the perfect instrument to play in the sun :-)
+Pierre Martin ... and anywhere else :)
Loved it!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for listening!
why is it so beautiful? :'(
Felipe Espinola It touches the soul, does it not? :')
+Felipe Espinola I think it's a lot to do with the A tuned to 415 and not the current standard of 440. The flatter tone gives it a more natural sound.
+Ryan Mackner Why do you think 415 is flatter?
nebo vas it's a half step down, A would look like G#. It's just naturally flat
Thank you! The lute was made by Hendrik Hasenfuss.
The interpretation is as good as the composition. Monumental!!!!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful playing (and video production!)
Thank you very much for listening and watching!
This is a beautiful and expressive reading of Weiss - I wish his work were performed more often.
Thank you very much!
Your interpretation and execution is on par with the great Robert Barto.
mas allá de una impecable ejecucion,, loa mas dificil, la interpretacion, y este tipo vaya que si
Muchas gracias!
0:45 Weiss obviously was inspired by the largo movement of Bach’s double violin concerto
The two pieces were likely written at the exact same time, so I would be skeptical of claiming one being inspired by the other. They met themselves LONG after these pieces would have been written. It's entirely possible they were both drawing inspiration from the same source, or they just happened to write similar sounding music as they were both writing music in the same region in the exact same time period. But it's silly to look at this and try to point to one being inspired by the other.
@@iiirdeyeheretik I agree!
Beautifully done. The music, the imagery, everything.
+Guitarist.com Thank you very much!
Wow! 😳Amazing! Those basses and notes go very deep into the soul. 😞Not forgetting the Chantarelle. Beautiful performance, Bernhard. Bravo! 👏Greetings from San Francisco, California, USA
That´s great to hear, many thanks for your kind words!

Hofstoter @ Notre Dame?( last shot) ? Excellent baroque lute and 24 ( ?) string theorbo lute! Chris Young Harp guitar 12 string and Mandolian@ Barbara Salisbury 260 vids@ UA-cam.com also.
Thank you for listening! The church is in Strasbourg, France. The instrument is a 13-course baroque lute.
@@bernhardhofstotter5547 I recently tried to convert a Bajo Sexto to 18 or thrice strung 12 string ,tuned octo down E A D G C F,normally.But I am close to Medicare or retirement here in New Mexico,America,and my inheritance is a abalone three form inlay with Goh tuners,unmarked ,reverse bowed by a local luthier now will be A D G C# E A ,or baroque,Elizabethan lute,and Mexican vahuela tuning of east coast historic music corridor.Thank You,you are most likely 4 stave reader( myself two only) and your recital is truly invigorating!You might know, an early influence ,Paul Odette,baroque,John Dowland,and Theorbo player.You use re entrant or single wrapped bass,though true classical is light wound bass,and full clear treble.Chris Young
Thank you for these wonderful tones.
Thank you for listening!
absolutely heavenly playing
Thank you!
Diese Weigert-Laute gefällt mir noch besser als ein Widhalm-Modell. Schön ausgeglichene Frequenzen, aber knackig-brilliante Höhen. Die Rolex unter den Barocklauten😊
Ja, Weigert ist wirklich top und klingt sehr gut! Diese Laute lässt sich auch sehr gut halten. Aber Edlinger ist auch ausgezeichnet :)
Mina barndoms somrar,en gång för längesedan
Really very beautiful. This is a stunning performance, a nicely-shot video and a very well-recorded sound as well. On all levels, this is the sort of thing to admire.
gracias, maestro
Gracias!
It sounds great. But was he playing it live here?
No, he was not! :) The music is from my CD "Dresden - Moskau". Thank you for listening!
Great performance!
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
What could be better than the melancholy music of Weiss and a lazy sunny afternoon in spring...
Excellent
+Nilden Şenel Thank you!
+silvadesirenas v You're welcome . Really wonderful
Von Holst instrument Dear Bernard?? :)
Dear Miguel, no, this one was made by H. Hasenfuss.
Thanks Dear :) Very nice video and sound
By the way, Dear, Would you have his price list?
Thanks a lot and all the best
Thank you!!
I do not have his price list, but if you need more information please contact me through www.bernhardhofstotter.org
天国の音楽｡☺️この世での反省と神の慰めと優しい忠告。
Thank you very much for your comment!
thank you, the belly is similar to maler but in fact it`s weigert.
Awesome !!! Llena de armonía, de calma, de sentimiento en cada una de las notas. Perfecta interpretación de una de las más hermosas obras de S.L. Weiss. Gracias por subir este magnífico vídeo...
Nach einem Tag des Übens bin ich mal wieder hier gelandet, lieber Bernhard :-) Sehr schön, Deine Verzierungen! Herzlichst, Andreas
Das freut mich, lieber Andreas! Herzlichen Dank!!
Hi Bernhard, very beautiful and expressive performance.
I've a question, what's the string length?.. the instrument seems little.. 9 tied frets only.. 66 cm perhaps?
Thank you very much! The string length is 69 cm. It feels just about right :)
Wow Great piece and beautiful lute!! You soon Andrea 😉
Thank you!!
Thank you for your kind words which are much appreciated!
this isnt really from the moscow manuscript is it i cannot find it there ?
+MrWallerand It is. The Andante is on p. 23 of the Moscow MS.
The problem may be that there are copies around and the folio numbers do not match the pagination. I know that in my copy the andante is on page 47. I am glad I found it as it is beautiful to play. Your video is well-crafted and your playing is sublime.
I was referring to the page numbers indicated on the manuscript itself but I am glad you found it. Thank you!
thank you, haim! the lute was made by hendrik hasenfuss.
Something in this recording remininds me of the first vinyl records of lute music I owned, almost 40 years ago. Rekindles a long-standing passion and makes me wish to start playing lute again. Very nice, thank you.
Thank you very much! Why not start playing again?
Nice and atmospheric video, nice jauck/maler lute too..)
Beautiful playing Bernhard..Can you tell me where i can get a copy of this piece?i have searched in the moscow manuscript but no luck thank you
Hi Robin, Thank you for your comment! The Andante is on p. 23 of the Moscow MS. If you don't manage to find it, I can send you a scan.
Very well executed. Is that an archlute made by Hassenfuss?
Regards from Norway
Yes, made by Hasenfuss, but a 13-course baroque lute.
Thank you!
silvadesirenas v what's the difference other than how it looks. Can you not play baroque music on an archlute? That's all I've ever seen it used for
+Themostamazinguy You can play baroque music on an archlute. The difference between the two types of lute is the tuning.
silvadesirenas v Yeah that's what i thought. I'm stuck in the renaissance for now but eventually i'll get a baroque lute XD
Thank you, touching us is music`s most noble gift!
is that how people usually sit with lutes?
Yes, more or less like this.
Wunderbarer Ton!
Vielen Dank!
you play so well....thanks for sharing your innerself to us....so beautifull!
Thank you so much!
Wow~ good sound!
Thank you!
Beautiful
Thank you!
There's a LOT of strings on that lute! Thanks for playing. I loved it.
24 strings in total :) Thank you!
Abso"lute"ly beautifully played ;-). I love the sound of your Lute. Who built your Lute? What builder is it modelled after? I'm in a position where I'm about to enter the world of Lute playing on the Baroque Lute. I'm simply in love with the sound and compositions for the Baroque Lute. Are you using plain gut strings?
I do hope you have the time to answer. If not it's ok and thanks for your sharing and playing.
Thank you, the lute was built by Hendrik Hasenfuss. It is based on a lute by J.B. Weigert. I use gut strings from time to time but these days I mostly use plain synthetic ('multifilament') strings which work very well.
Thanks a lot for the info :-). I've seen H. Hassenfuss's website and the pictures of his Lutes are absolutely stunning. I think I'll contact him to get pricing info as there's none on his website. Are you satisfied with the Lute he built for you and how long did it take for him to deliver the
Sjamus2 the lutes made by h. hasenfuss are extremely resonant and a joy to play. I ordered mine a long time ago and do not know about current waiting times.
merci
how in the world would you play the strings not on the fret board???
Those strings are not stopped - I just pluck the open strings.
Merci, Anselmus, pour ce commentaire merveilleux!
Muy buen video, maestro. Ojalá suba muchos más. Saludos.
Thank you, TheRalu1980!!
Okay, Ignatius J. Reilly.
Outstanding composition and performance!!!!!!!
Thank you very much!!
Baroque!
Thank you! :)
fajn je da se na učiš kak to zveni
+Karin Kveder Thank you for listening!
tres joli merci
Merci!
Great player, beautiful piece and great videography and location. Really nice.
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!!
Thank you so much!!
What course lute is that, like 16? Lol
This is a 13 course lute - makes 24 strings in total...
That's awesome! What do you suggest for someone like me who's looking to pick up the lute? I play guitar, mando, banjo and harp guitar, so the lute has caught my eye recently; any tips?
Lutes come in many different forms and variations - there is 'no one size fits all'. Therefore you should think about which music above all you would like to play. If the answer is "baroque", you should go for a baroque lute which would normally have between 11 and 13 courses. There is lots of great music for this instrument with many things still to be discovered. If the answer tends more to "renaissance", you would be better served by a renaissance lute (6 to 10 courses). There are also archlutes and theorbos for which there is not an awful lot of solo music but which are very effective ensemble instruments. Obviously you can improvise music or play your own music on any of these instruments. Once you have made up your mind (listening to different recordings will help), get a decent lute of your choice. And find a good teacher to show you at least the basics. Plucking a lute is very different from playing a guitar. Getting it right from the beginning will save you lots of time! Hope that helps.
silvadesirenas v so if you have an archlute and decided to play music for a baroque lute could you tune it in order to play baroque music or is it just plain impossible
It is definitely possible.
Utterly gorgeous music and playing.
Thank you very much!!
Thank you!!!
