The Sonorous Lyre - a reference to the harp-like instrument of Classical Antiquity - takes the shape of the very resonant double-headed lute, a popular instrument frequently depicted by 17th-century Dutch and English painters. It is an instrument that is seldom heard today, sadly neglected in the lute renaissance of the 20th century. Swedish lutenist Anders Ericson has, for this recording, uncovered exciting original music, here presented for the first time to a modern audience. Born in Karlsborg, Sweden in 1976, Anders Ericson started playing electric and classical guitar at the age of eight. By the time he had reached eighteen he was playing the baroque lute and theorbo, and went to study at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and the College of Music in Malmo graduating in 2002. Active as a continuo player and soloist, Anders has performed in major concert halls and opera houses in 25 countries all over the world, including the Wigmore Hall, Théatre des Champs-Élysées and Tokyo International Forum. Anders is a member of the Drottningholm Baroque Ensemble and Goteborg Baroque.
