The Humanist Households and Universities. Without a base of aristocratic patrons, Swiss musicians were especially attracted to the egalitarian nature of the lute. This recent recording centers on the reformist movement around the University of Basle.

Note: All of the music on this program is from the recording Schweizer Lautenmusik der Renaissance featuring Christoph Greuter, lute, with Ulrike J. Hofbauer as soprano soloist on the few songs. The recording is on the Musikszene Schweiz label and is CD number MGB CD 6198.

Support for these programs comes in part from PRS, Presence Switzerland; with additional support from Swiss Radio, Pro Helvetia, and the Embassy of Switzerland in Washington, D.C.
