Mara Winter and Robert Barto Perform Weiss

Beautiful performance! Mara Winter (traverso) & Robert Barto (lute) perform the Gigue from Duo-Sonata in D minor by Sylvius Leopold Weiss (1686–1750). This sonata is from ‘The London Manuscript’ (ca. 1717-1725), missing original duo part reconstructed by Karl-Ernst Schröder. This comes via Mara Winter’s Youtube channel.

The traverso, sometimes called a Baroque flute, is a wooden transverse flute that was used during the Baroque period and into the mid-19th century. Mara Winter is playing a Traverso after Buffardin Le Fils by Giovanni Tardino (Basel, 2024). Robert Barto is playing a 13 course baroque lute by Andrew Rutherford (New York City, 1996).
