We have just published an in-depth article devoted to Los seys libros del Delphin, a foundational work of the vihuela repertoire and a landmark of Renaissance instrumental music.

The article explores the internal structure of the six books, the humanist framework of the work, the practice of singing while playing, and the editorial principles of the Urtext edition prepared by John Griffiths.

On this occasion, pre-orders are now open for
John Dowland – The Complete Works for Lute Solo and Duet,

We would like to share this video of the recent sale in Philadelphia: more than 100,000 books from the personal library of William H. Roberts, co-founder of Le Luth Doré.
Bill played a decisive role in the creation and development of our project, always with the rigorous generosity and depth of spirit that defined him.

This remarkable sale is more than an event. It reflects the life of a man for whom the arts, ideas, and knowledge were a true vocation.
Bill dedicated much of his life to supporting culture: as Chairman of the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, as a board member of the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society and the Marlboro Music School and Festival, and as President of the Harvard Review of Philosophy. He was a tireless advocate for music, for artists, and for thoughtful scholarship.

His library, now opened to the public, reveals the breadth of his passions and the quiet strength with which he supported so many initiatives, including ours.
His intelligence, kindness, and discerning eye are deeply missed.

Here is the video of the sale, which speaks eloquently of the richness of an exceptional man:
