Mouton: Pièces pour le luth (Pieces for the Lute)
Elegant French Baroque Lute Masterpieces Revived.
This recording presents a selection of Pièces pour le luth by the French composer and lutenist Charles Mouton performed by Spanish lutenist Carlos Cantero. Mouton occupies a significant position in the evolution of seventeenth-century French lute music, acting as a stylistic bridge between the Renaissance lute tradition and the emerging Baroque aesthetic.
Performed on a modern lute built in 2019 by José Miguel Moreno, this recording highlights the delicate timbral palette and intricate ornamentation that define Mouton’s music. The result is a portrait of a composer who consolidated the legacy of the French lute school while subtly pointing toward the stylistic freedoms of the Baroque era.
