Toyohiko Satoh
Toyohiko Satoh, Japanese by birth but now a resident of the Hague, Netherlands, is one of the best known of presently performing "authentic" lutenists - those who have studied and adopted historical concepts, instruments and techniques. Mr. Satoh studied guitar, cello and musicology, and in 1966 came to study lute with Eugen Domboix at the Schola Cantorum in Basel, Switzerland. Since 1970, when he made the first solo baroque lute album for Philips, he has recorded extensively for Philips, Telefunken, EMI, Harlekijn and other companies. His recordings with such noted musicians as Gustav Leonhardt, Frans Bruggen and Elly Ameling, among others, have brought him consistent honors and rewards. His album "Pathodia Sacra et Profana" by Constantijn Huygens, played by Elly Ameling, Max Egmond and two other instrumentalists, won the Edison Prize. As soloist as well as Basso Continuo player, he joined the Vienna Musikwochen, Holland Festival and other famed festivals. He has toured extensively in Europe, and throughout Canada, U.S. and Japan.
Besides the baroque lute, Mr. Satoh plays renaissance lute and other related instruments such as the theorbo and chitarrone. Since 1973, Toyohiko Satoh has been lute professor at the Royal Conservatory in the Hague, Holland, and gives frequent master classes in Europe, the U.S, Canada and Japan.
