description
Bonavita does a brilliant job of bringing new life to a chunk of the limited solo repertoire for this strange but fascinating--and, one suspects, all but unplayable--mega-lute. If you are a non-musician like me, you can think of the theorbo as a mid-voiced lute with numerous sympathetic strings and a number of long bass strings that are played in an open tuning above the standard lute strings. These have their own separate peg-box at the end of an impressive six-foot neck. The result is a big, varied sound, full of subtle arpeggios, shifting textures, and deep notes that can be harshly dramatic or glowingly vibrant. The volume of sound produced by this instrument allows it--unlike, for example, the much quieter guitar--to fill a large room easily when played alone, and to be heard effortlessly in an instrumental or vocal ensemble. Reentrant tuning gives the theorbo a brighter sound than a bass lute and creates opportunities for a distinctive theorbo fingering technique.
