Description
In this episode, we explore the life and work of Silvius Leopold Weiss, considered one of the greatest composers and virtuosos of the lute in the 18th century. Respected in his own time alongside figures such as Bach, Scarlatti, and Quantz, Weiss left behind a monumental body of work, preserved mainly in manuscripts. Rediscovered nearly two centuries after his death, his music reveals the extraordinary richness of the Baroque lute and the inventiveness of a composer who brought his instrument to one of its highest levels of expression.
