Domenico Cerasani performs Francesco da Milano

Lutenist Domenico Cerasani performs Fantasia 33, and the intabulation Quand’io penso al martire (123 da J. Arcadelt) by Francesco Canova da Milano “Il Divino” (1497-1543). This comes via Edoardo Lambertenghi’s YouTube channel (go subscribe). I can rarely resist posting performances of da Milano, especially when performed as beautifully as here on 6 course Renaissance lute. The intabulations of vocal works are particularly interesting as they were essentially cover tunes of the hits of the day.
