I like to play the lute full-bloodedly, with passion, as well as with delicacy and, I hope, refinement.
When I began playing the lute, in 1950 there were not too many lutenists around. I had to work hard, writing out music in museums and libraries. It was before the days of photocopying. And I had just picked up the lute, adapted my guitar technique to it and went from there.
