Jose Miguel Moreno (baroque lute)About
Born in Leipzig, Kellner (c.1670-1748) moved around the old Swedish Empire, settling eventually in Stockholm as an organist and carillonneur, but not until he had “spent the best years of his youth at war”, as a military man in the Great Northern War, for a decade. There is some doubt as to how Kellner came to be the composer of the XVI Auserlesene Lauten-Stücke, published as late as 1747, and some have been ascribed to Sylvius Leopold Weiss, but these virtuosic and engaging pieces are ideally suited to the mastery of José Miguel Moreno.
Moreno’s instrument-making skills have also been called into play for this recording, which includes Sarabandes, Gavottes, Chaconnes, a Campanella (he plays the carillon) and Phantasies - for this recording Moreno built an 11-course lute, the instrument called for by David Kellner.
