Anton Birula
Anton Birula has studied the lute with Prof. Toyohiko Satoh at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in The Hague and with Prof. Konrad Junghaenel at the Hochschule fur
Musik in Cologne. With his concentration on the extant solo literature for the Baroque lute Anton Birula has performed numerous lute recitals featuring music of J.S.Bach, S.L. Weiss and French lutenists. His special interests were transcriptions of J.S. Bach suites for solo cello and violin sonatas and partitas for the Baroque lute. As a theorbo player Anton Birula has performed a vast amount of musical literature with numerous ensembles, specializing in vocal music by 17th century Italian and English composers and the viola da gamba music of Marin Marais and Antoine Forqueray. His fascination by french viola da gamba music led him to close cooperation with the Russian gambist Victor Sobolenko. In the year 2001 they recorded a CD with works of Marin Marais with theorbo as the only continuo instrument.
Anton has worked with such important soloists as Wladyslaw Klosiewicz (harpsichord), Nigel Kennedy (violin), Emma Kirkby (soprano), Marek Toporowski
(harpsichord), Olga Pasiecznik (soprano).
During his long engagement at the Warsaw Chamber Opera, Anton has participated in the performances of all works of Claudio Monteverdi as well as operas by Pieri, Caccini, Landi, Scarlatti.
