| Description: | Lute Music by M. Galilei, released 6 April 2018.
This version of Lute Music comes as a 1xCD. - AXEL WOLFMichelagnolo/Michelangelo Galilei was born in 1575 as the second son of the influential music theoretician Vincenzo Galilei and was the younger brother of Galileo Galilei. Michelangelo, who was considered a musical prodigy during his youth, embarked on the career of a professional lutenist and, following several stations in Poland and Lithuania, entered the service of the Court Orchestra of Duke Maximilian I of Bavaria in Munich on 16 February 1607. Axel Wolf presents here Galilei's Primo libro d´intavolatura di liuto, Munich 1620. The German lutenist, Axel Wolf, studied with Hans Michael Koch and Rolf Lislevand. As a member of the ensemble "La Sfondrata" he was a prizewinner at the 1992 International Competition for Early Music Ensembles in Utrecht, Netherlands. In the course of his concert career Axel Wolf has made appearances at international festivals in Boston, Bruges, Utrecht, Prague, Edinburgh and Innsbruck, as well as appearances in Rome, Tokyo, New York and Tel Aviv as soloist or member of ensembles such as Musica Fiata Koln, Freiburger Barockorchester, Ars Antiqua Austria and The English Concert London.With "Axel Wolf spielt Michelangelo Galilei", lutenist Axel Wolf presents an intimate and refined portrait of the early Baroque master Michelangelo Galilei. On this CD, Wolf explores the poetic depth, delicate ornamentation and rhythmic subtlety of Galilei's lute works, revealing a sound world that bridges the late Renaissance and the emerging Baroque. The recording focuses on clarity of line and a warm, natural sound, allowing the music's gentle melancholy and quiet virtuosity to unfold without distraction. Carefully chosen pieces trace a dramaturgical arc from introspective dances to more extrovert, brilliant works, highlighting both the lyrical and the technically demanding sides of Galilei's writing.
The production values of this CD underline its artistic ambition: a transparent, resonant recording captures every nuance of the plucked strings, while the booklet (where available) typically offers historically informed context on composer, repertoire and instrument. This makes the disc attractive not only to early-music enthusiasts but also to curious listeners discovering the lute repertoire for the first time. Positioned at the intersection of scholarship and emotional immediacy, the album invites repeated listening and rewards attention to detail in phrasing and articulation.
Axel Wolf has established himself as a distinguished specialist in historical plucked instruments, particularly the lute and related early plucked instruments. Known for his stylistic certainty, refined tone and unshowy virtuosity, he is frequently invited to collaborate with renowned ensembles and to appear at major early-music festivals. His discography and concert activity reflect a sustained commitment to exploring the richness of Renaissance and Baroque lute literature, often bringing lesser-known composers to the fore and contributing to a deeper appreciation of this repertoire in the concert and recording world.
