Evangelina Mascardi

Superstar and top earner: lutenist Silvius Leopold Weiss was the Paganini of the early 18th century. As heir to the French lute tradition and shaped by his years in Italy, he became the architect of his own distinctive sound. Evangelina Mascardi offers a curated selection that reveals the richness of Weiss’s oeuvre: from the emotional Tombeau sur la Mort de M. Logy to his unmatched fugues, fantasies, and dances.
