Francesco Canova da Milano (1497-1543) Selected Lute Fantasias: Fantasia 30 Fantasia 1 (2:17) Fantasia 8 (4:32) Fantasia 4 (7:05) Fantasia 2 (7:53) Francesco da Milano was universally proclaimed as the foremost lute composer and instrumentalist of his time. His remarkable artistry lead to him being given the epithet El Divino - The divine. Milano spent most of his career in Italy employed by the papal court. Performed on 6-course Renaissance Lute: Polivios Issariotis I have recently been encouraged to start offering lessons via Skype, especially for advanced classical guitar students or classical guitarists who want to segue to historical or ethnic instruments (lute, vihuela, baroque guitar, oud, etc).
