About

The modern sequence of keys had yet to be invented when Vincenzo Galilei set out to traverse them all—well over a century before Bach’s seminal ‘Well-tempered Clavier’. The resulting demands on the sixteenth-century lutenist are ferocious, and Žak Ozmo here fully rises to the challenge in their first recording.
