Ryosuke Sakamoto, a 24-year old Japanese musician, belongs to the second generation which takes an interest in European early music. He started already as a small child to make music together with his parents and has also acquired a solid knowledge in music theory and history. On this CD he "travels" with his lute through European countries, and for him it is quite natural to use his Renaissance lute even for excursions into later epochs and genres not intended for the lute - from Dowland to Debussy!

In the booklet you can read the musician's own commentary.
