"McFarlane and Simms have an easy, amiable rapport. They play as equal partners and it is a pleasure to hear."
- American Record Guide
Two Lutes: Lute Duets from England’s Golden Age is a wonderful collection of enchanting music performed by lute virtuosos Ronn McFarlane and William Simms.
“Elizabethan lute duets yield the most companionable and friendly kind of music making for the players. In equal duets each lutenist plays nearly the same music, alternating playing the melody and the harmonic accompaniment. It feels like a conversation, with each lutenist posing musical questions and answers throughout. Each player is free to improvise upon the written part, so the conversation can be very individual and spontaneous! On the other hand, in the treble-ground style of lute duet, one lutenist plays a single line melodic part (usually including some virtuosic passages) while the second lutenist plays a chordal accompaniment. Sometimes the chordal accompaniment is very simple and repetitive, it is likely that a skilled player would vary his part to make a more musically satisfying accompaniment.”
