Customer review from amazon.com:

This four-CD set is a reissue of six LPs, recorded between 1973 and 1975, each devoted to the lute music of one or two major European countries: England, Italy, Spain, Poland & Hungary, Germany & the Netherlands, and France. It thus probably covers a wider spectrum of Renaissance lute music than any other single album.

The notes offer extensive information about the music, the instrument used and the recording dates; but, strangely, none about the artist - although there is a photograph.

Konrad Ragossnig is perhaps best known outside his native Austria by his fine album of Latin American guitar duets with Walter Feybli, which has been reissued multiple times on various budget labels.

Like his contemporary Julian Bream, Herr Ragossnig was an early convert to the lute, and in fact his playing is so much like Bream's as to be indistinguishable to the casual listener; in particular, I find Herr Ragossnig's firm sense of rhythm a refreshing change from the meanderings of some I could name. The recordings are likewise excellent and comparable to Bream's of the same period.

It must be said that playing the lute this way - that is, like a classical guitar, with fingernails, and use of tonal variation - is (we are told) inauthentic, and thus out of fashion these days. Those who feel this way may be better served by more HIP recordings from first-rate modern lutenists such as Jakob Lindberg, Christopher Wilson and Paul O'Dette.

To those who neither know nor care about such considerations, however -- or to those who (like myself) know but do not care, and feel that Bream's lute recordings have been too few -- this album can be recommended without reservation.
