David Bergmüller • Know Thyself (CD)

 

On the new album "Know Thyself" by David Bergmüller, the lutenist and composer bridges centuries, merging the ancient resonance of Renaissance, Baroque, and theorbo instruments with modern sound design and production. Recorded at the legendary Funkhaus Berlin studio, the album reimagines the lute for the 21st century — without losing the intimacy and poetry of its golden age. Deeply inspired by the acoustics of remarkable spaces and by his collaborations across genres, Bergmüller follows in the footsteps of historical lute composers who wrote their own music, crafting a personal, contemporary repertoire. "Know Thyself" is an invitation to hear the lute anew — as timeless as it is innovative.
