Froberger's Plainte faite à Londres played by Marcin Swiatkiewicz on the Lute-harpsichord

[harmoniamusicae]

the London Plaint is one of the most moving pieces written by Froberger and the Lautenwerk suits it perfectly as it does to all its plaints (the Ferdinand's and all the others!)

There is not such thing as Lute Harpsichord. That is a linguistic invention of US-americans, who never heard that there was Hanover other than that in New Hempshire. This is LAUTENWERK, an instrument for which J.S. Bach has composed. The instrument is basically a keyboarded Luth. It has no more in common with a harpsichord than a harpsichord with piano. But then no one calls the piano a heavywheight harpsichord....

in the same way there is no Brandenburg Concertos or Goldberg Variations only Six Concerts... and Aria mit versch. veranderungen,

The only thing which differs the "lute-harpsichord" from the regular harpsichord is gut stringing (and obviously parameters of all the dependend elements - quils, soundboard, distance between the strings, scaling, etc). There are some attempts to give that instrument tha shape of big teorbo but instrument I played is in the case of early italian.

This is incorrect. Lute harpsichord (or Lautenwerk) differs from harpsichord only in gut stringing and the lack of dampers. Also, due to the lower tension of gut strings it tends to be physically larger.
