"For instance, look at Boije 955 ("Phoebus") or "Hebe / Pfennig-magasin" from the Rischel Birket Smith Collection. (RIBS0017-3-1). Lots of vocal duets with guitar."

"Hello Av8t0r, The Gautrot looks very much like a guitar from the Jerome Tibouville Lamy factory."

"Hello Scot Gautrot Aine and Nicolas Aine were very likely not related. 'Ainé' in French means 'the older' or 'senior'.  "

Profile Information

About me:
I studied guitar with Tom Burmanje at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, and with Gordon Crosskey at the RNCM in Manchester. Masterclasses with Leo Brouwer and David Russell. Lute with Fred Jacobs and Hugh Cherry.

I have been playing 19th century guitars for about 12 years now, after spotting & buying a lovely Mirecourt guitar at a local auction. I have been playing on gut strings, without nails, right from the start. Among other instruments, I own a ca 1830 Franz Brunner (Vienna), a ca 1855 D & A Roudhloff (London), and a Enrique Recio (Cadiz) from 1862.

As a performer, I mostly accompany singers, such as Christopher Kale, tenor, Sigurd van Lommel, altus and Valeria Mignaco, soprano. I also enjoy playing instrumental chamber music. In recent years I played with Dario Macaluso (guitar), and various string players.

I teach early guitar workshops in Amsterdam almost every year, in fall, and am working towards a masters degree in musicology at the University of Amsterdam. Subject: The French composer Pauline Duchambge (1776-1858), who wrote hundreds of songs with piano or guitar.

Lieve Jelma,

 

Ik ben teleurgesteld dat ik op deze pagina geen mp3-bestanden aanplakken kan, maar dank je wel voor het idee en voor de hulpaanbod. Ik zal het overdenken. Op het ogenblik ben ik niet zeker wat ik doen wil. Misschien is het beste een eigene website te krijgen, hoewel ik niet weet wat ik ermee aanvangen zal. (Technisch ben ik niet bijzonder begaafd.)

 

Hartelijke groeten,

 

Stephen

That would be great! I am really very interested.

Hallo Jelma. Yes I have a few of these arrangements, en know of the existence of some others. I am collecting Molino's music, so I hope to get a hold of those also sometimes.

Groeten,

Jan.

Hi Jelma. This piece it's so beautiful.

Yes sounds like 'La Monica' or une jeune fillette.

Best wishes.

Alexandros.

Very funny. I must admit though that I find most of the beards too much. I'm more into the kind of sideburns the men had in early 19th century, like the one Giuliani had.

Thanks for the link though

Jelma, I enjoyed the folia by Castro. Nice dynamics and tone!
