What Recordings and Performances Has Luteduo Released?

Luteduo's documented recording output centers on one CD: Baroque Lute Duets, released in 2002. That release grew out of the duo's work as the first to perform and record the recently discovered duet compositions of François du Fault, alongside transcriptions of Marin Marais' duet viola da gamba compositions for two Baroque lutes. Beyond that disc, the site describes several themed concert programs rather than additional recordings, and it lists performances across fourteen European countries.

The 2002 CD: Baroque Lute Duets

The recording is the concrete release named on luteduo.com. Its distinguishing feature is the source material:

• Duet compositions by François du Fault that the duo describes as recently discovered
• Transcriptions of Marin Marais' duet viola da gamba works, arranged for two Baroque lutes
• The duo states it was the first to perform and record these du Fault duets

If you are looking for a single entry point into Luteduo's recorded work, this is the one the site identifies by name and year.

Concert Programs Beyond the CD

The site presents later work as programs rather than as released recordings, so treat these as repertoire descriptions rather than a discography.

Baroque Insight

A program built on contrast between national styles, moving through:

• Solemn music of Italian lute and theorbo players — Alessandro Piccinini and Girolamo Kapsberger
• The temperamental style of the first Spanish guitar virtuosi — Gaspar Sanz and Santiago de Murcia
• The melancholic mood of French Baroque masters — R. de Visée and F. Couperin

The Bach Project

A large project devoted to Johann Sebastian Bach, covering solo lute works — including lute versions of solo violin and cello compositions — and transcriptions of other instrumental works by Bach for two 24-string Baroque lutes.

Historical Plucked Instruments Beyond the Lute

The duo also works on duo repertoire for other combinations of historical plucked instruments, especially Baroque guitar and theorbo.

19th-Century Romantic Guitar

More recent activity turns to 19th-century music for romantic guitar. The musicians use copies of six-string guitars by the 19th-century maker Rene Lete, strung with gut strings, performing works by J. K. Mertz, F. Sor, F. Chopin, and Napoleon Coste. The program's high point is a transcription of César Franck's organ work Prelude, Fugue & Variation, op. 18.

Performance Range

The duo reports having presented these programs across Europe, performing in:

Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation, Slovakia, Ukraine, and Switzerland.

What the Site Does Not Specify

The page evidence covers the 2002 CD and the concert programs but does not list recording labels, catalogue numbers, purchase or streaming links, or dates for individual performances. If you need those details, they are not established by this source.

Who Is Behind the Recordings

The duo is Anna Kowalska and Anton. Anna Kowalska studied lute with Toyohiko Satoh and Nigel North at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, and her repertoire spans the Renaissance to late Baroque, including 19th-century historical guitar repertoire; she has also studied and performed on classical guitar, piano, and violin.
