Danijel Cerović performs S.L. Weiss’ Sonata No. 28 ‘The Famous Pirate’: I. Allemande (arr. guitar)

#NaxosMusic #ClassicalMusic #GuitarMusic #NaxosMusicVideos BUY / DOWNLOAD / STREAM: Silvius Leopold Weiss was acknowledged as the greatest lutenist of his age, composing over 600 pieces for the instrument organised into suites or sonatas. One of Danijel Cerović’s arrangements in his album is Weiss’ Sonata No. 28 ‘Le Fameux Corsaire’ (‘The Famous Pirate’). The title is a somewhat enigmatic title which may refer to the English pirate Edward Teach, known as Blackbeard, who died in battle on 22 November 1718. The title does indeed endow the suite with elements of mystery.
