One of the most beautiful song ever, by Gianmaria Testa. He is really worth listening to, even though I don't understand a word of Italian (though it's close enough to French...) I'd love to see the man live... And sorry about my accent, Italian is a magic language when spoken by Italians!
Recorded through Toneport UX1 for guitar 1, 2 and voice.

This is my own intabulation of Caccini's song. The music can be found in page http://www.cs.helsin ki.fi/u/wikla/mus/ow n/Intabs/
This video is only an unpolished version, just to show my intabulation in practice. The soprano lute is made after model "Wendelio Venere", Vienna, c.1580, by Timo Kontio, 1997. Arto Wikla, 29.5.2008.
