SILVIUS LEOPOLD WEISS Concerto for Two Lutes Berhhardt Hofstötter & Dolores Costoyas ~ LUTHS | LUTES ACD2 2538 Bernhard Hofstötter and Dolores Costoyas are lutenists who make their ATMA Baroque recording debut with music by the 18th century Polish composer Silvius Leopold Weiss.   Based in Rome for several years, Weiss was profoundly influenced by Domenico Scarlatti, and his music is characterized by an exquisite melancholy and pathos.   The manuscripts for the Suites included in this recording were recently discovered in a private Austrian library.   A rare glimpse into Viennese musical tastes and practises during the first half of the 18th century!
