5.0 out of 5 stars Unique, sensible and delightfull Jan 22 2000
By Serge Caron - Published on Amazon.com
This recording, to my opinion, was done with a lot of sensibility and intelligence. A strong execution with a master technique gives to this recording warmth and emotions to each page of music.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ideal Musician for This Music Feb 5 2005
By J. Burton - Published on Amazon.com
"Michel Cardin is the ideal man for this job. It is difficult to imagine a more worthy interpretation of this imposing music. Superbly recorded throughout, the performances never fail to give a lucid account of these magnificent compositions. Ornamentation is precise and rhythmic and the counterpoint never less than vivid. Credit must also go to sound engineer Gilles Poirier, who has captured the warmth of Cardin's playing in a manner which would surely delight the most exacting of performers." (Paul Fowles, Classical Guitar, UK)

1.0 out of 5 stars A serious musical disappointment. Oct 16 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Expectations must be very high for this series, since it represents the most extensive reading of an important musical manuscript - dozens of handwritten compositions by the premier virtuoso of the Baroque lute, Silvius Leopold Weiss.

By all accounts, Weiss was an electrifying performer and brilliant improvisor. Sadly, Cardin apparently lacks the artistic capacity to bring his music to life. Although the acoustics of the recording and execution are of high quality, his playing is utterly mechanical and pedantic, marching through this florid landscape of harmony and counterpoint like a robot.

I have not heard the other CDs in this series, but have no desire to.
