JessibirdI do adore lutes and theorbos and such. To introduce you to these instruments, so popular in Renaissance and Baroque times, I present you with three performances.
First, Catherine King’s lovely soprano backed by Jacob Heringman’s cool, calm lute.

Luis Milan El Maestro
Next, Martin and Paul Berget duetting. Two lutes are sometimes better than one.

Last, and worth the wait, Swedish theorbo player and marvelous improviser Rolf Lislevand.
Rolf Lislevand: Chaconne by Robert Viseé
Check out the video after the jump.
You can hear a more recent Rolf Lislevand performance at NPR.
