My newspaper had a review some days ago about the album “Calling the Muse – Old & New Pieces for Theorbo”<\/strong> by the French theorbo player Bruno Helstroffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bruno Helstroffer has studied the guitar in Stra\u00dfburg in France and has also started to play the theorbo, the lute and the vihuela. The theorbo and the lute are now his favorite instruments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helstroffer has played with different old music ensembles playing music of the Renaissance. He has played solo performances with his theorbo and has a very creative way to play old and new music on the lute instruments. He is composing new music for the theorbo, arranging modern compositions for the lute and even plays arrangements of pop songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start with a solo performance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
