The only upside of possessing fairly shallow knowledge of classical music is the delight I experience whenever I "discover" a composer I have never encountered before. Case in point, Francis Cutting and his charming lute music. My untrained - and probably tone deaf - ear cannot discern whether or not Cutting is "better" than John Dowland, but it doesn't really matter because I find Cutting's lute pieces delightful all the same.

I have some pieces by Cutting on LPs by Julian Bream - which are very good; this reminds me that I should be exploring his full range of work.
