Early Music: Lautenwercke

Lautenwercke (plural of Lautenwerck, I think) are harpsichords with gut strings. I think this may be a German word that means something like "lute mechanism". In any case, I think they sound like banjos, a perfect sound for this genre.


J.S. Bach, trio sonata no. 4 in e minor (BWV 528)
Shawn Leopard & John Paul, lautenwerke
