Reviews / Quotes

“Barto gives first-class performances on a beautifully recorded period lute. With such enjoyable music this disc and series is well worth exploring, for Weiss is highly inventive.”
  -- Ivan March, The Gramophone, July 2005    8.555722 Weiss Lute Sonatas Vol. 6

"...the brilliant Canadian lutenist Robert Barto.... renders Weiss's elegantly circuitous trail with absolute logic."
  -- Rick Jones (Amazon.com)

"Some of the finest playing of Weiss I have yet heard. Very strongly recommended."
  -- Gramophone magazine review of Robert Barto's first volume of the music of Silvius Leopold Weiss recorded on Naxos.

"Lutenist Robert Barto really captures the style of this ardent, graceful, often eloquent music. His technique, his richly resonant instrument, and the fine sound engineering bring clarity to the melodic lines and a glowing warmth to the lower registers, while allowing the top notes to ring."
  --  David Vernier for www.classicstoday.com
