Balint Bakfark

Balint Bakfark was the first Hungarian classical composer. I like to play his lute fantasies on classical guitar of course - in transcriptions. Last year I always started my concerts with his X. Fantasy.

It is a great start for a concert but very hard to play that because of lots of the polyphonical tricks. His pieces have a kind of religious atmosphere and they are very clear in a way like an early-renaissance painting from somewhere I dont' know Antwerpen or something like that.
