Jakob Lindberg is now one of the most prolific performers in this field. He has made numerous recordings for BIS, many of which are pioneering in that they present a wide range of music on CD for the first time. He has brought Scottish lute music to public attention, he has demonstrated the beauty of the Italian repertoire for chitarrone and he has recorded chamber music by Vivaldi, Haydn and Boccherini on period instruments. He is the first lutenist to have recorded the complete solo lute music by John Dowland and his recording of Bach's music for solo lute is considered to be one of the most important readings of these works.
Jakob Lindberg is an active continuo player on the theorbo and arch lute and has worked with many well known English ensembles including The English Concert, Taverner Choir, The Purcell Quartet, Monteverdi Choir, Chiaroscuro, The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and The Academy of Ancient Music. He is also in demand as an accompanist and has given recitals with Emma Kirkby, Ann Sofie von Otter, Nigel Rogers and Ian Partridge. He assisted Andrew Parrott in the musical direction of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas given by The Royal Swedish Opera at Drottningholm Court Theatre in 1995. He also directed from the chitarrone the much acclaimed performances of Jacopo Peri’s Euridice given there in 1997.
It is particularly through his live solo performances that he has become known as one of the finest lutenists in the world today; he has given recitals in many parts of Europe, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Australia, Canada and the USA. Jakob Lindberg also teaches at the Royal College of Music in London, where he succeeded Diana Poulton as professor of lute in 1979.

Jakob Lindberg Lyrics

Dat panis celicus figuris terminum:
O res mirabilis! Manducat Dominum
Pauper, servus et humilis.
The lyrics to Jakob Lindberg's song Toccata are written in Latin and are deeply religious. The first line, "Panis angelicus fit panis hominum," translates to "The bread of angels becomes the bread of man." This line is followed by "Dat panis celicus figuris terminum," which means "Heavenly bread ends earthly symbols." Together, these two lines suggest that the bread of communion is a divine substance that bridges the gap between heaven and earth, and that it brings an end to earthly struggles and symbols.
The third line, "O res mirabilis! Manducat Dominum," translates to "O wonderful thing! The Lord is eaten." This line emphasizes the miraculous nature of the Eucharist, and the idea that by consuming the bread, one is symbolically consuming the body of Christ. The final line, "Pauper, servus et humilis," means "Poor, servant, and humble." This line serves as a reminder that the Eucharist is accessible to everyone, regardless of their social status or station in life.
