Matthew Wadsworth is a British lutenist and theorbist who’s become a leading voice in reviving Renaissance and Baroque music for modern ears. Known for his warm, expressive playing and knack for making centuries-old compositions feel fresh, he’s built a career blending scholarly precision with approachable charm. His discography—like *The Knight of the Lute* or *When Laura Smiles*—showcases his love for Elizabethan and Jacobean repertoire, while collaborations like the *Goss Theorbo Concerto* highlight his versatility across early music styles. Whether performing solo lute works by Dowland or diving into theatrical Shakespeare-era songs, Wadsworth treats his historic instrument like a lively storyteller, connecting today’s listeners to the intimate soundworld of 16th-century England.
