Jakob Lindberg is a preeminent Swedish lutenist, recognized for his performances and recordings that bring to life the rich repertoire of Renaissance and Baroque music. Born in 1952, Lindberg developed a passion for early music early on and honed his skills at the Royal College of Music in London where he studied under the tutelage of the esteemed Diana Poulton. As one of the first lutenists to bring the sounds of historical instruments to a modern audience, Lindberg has dedicated his career to uncovering and interpreting the nuanced works of bygone eras.

Over the years, his discography has showcased not only his virtuosity but also his penchant for diverse programming, ranging from the intricate works of John Dowland to the intricate compositions of J.S. Bach, as noted in albums like "Bach on the Rauwolf Lute." His most recent releases continue this tradition, with explorations into the Italian Renaissance through "Italian Lute Virtuosi of the Renaissance" and the German and French Baroque periods in "A Lute by Sixtus Rauwolf: French & German Baroque Music." With each recording, Lindberg offers listeners a refined and authentic experience, transporting them through his performances of works both celebrated and obscure. His contributions have not only gained critical acclaim but also have played a significant role in the resurgence of interest in lute music, elevating the instrument’s profile on the international classical music stage.
