Template:Japanese name Toyohiko Satoh (佐藤豊彦, born in 1943) - is a Japanese lutenist and composer.
At Rikkyo University in Tokyo, Satoh studied music history with Tatsuo Minagawa and guitar with Kazuhito Ohosawa. He gave his first guitar recital in the Tokyo Bunka-Kaikan in 1965. At Rikkyo, he also began his studies of the lute.
In 1968, Satoh came to Europe; he studied lute with Eugen Müller-Dombois at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Switzerland. Two years later, he recorded a solo LP; since then he has since recorded extensively for Philips, Telefunken, EMI, Harlekijn, Channel Classics. He also performs in a lute duet, named Ayumi, with his daughter Miki Satoh; they recorded a recital for Carpe Diem in 2010. He has also recorded in numerous ensembles and with such artists as Gustav Leonhardt, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, and Elly Ameling.
In 1973, he became a professor at Royal Conservatory in The Hague, Holland, a position he held until 2005. He has also taught numerous master classes in Italy (Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena), Germany, the USA, Canada and Japan. As a teacher of the Baroque lute, he has advocated the use of gut strings, with no metal admixtures, and of historically accurate performance techniques. His 1987 book, "Method for the Baroque Lute" (Munich: Tree Editions) is widely used [1]
He has been actively composing, and performing and recording his compositions since 1981.
He has concertized throughout the world as soloist. His October, 1982 debut at the Carnegie Recital Hall in New York was praised in the New York Times; the critic Tim Page praised his "intensity and sense of drama" and "electric tension and rhythmic spring" [2]. He has also performed and recorded with many chamber ensembles, including the group Alba Musica Kyo, which he formed.
In 2000 he became the president of LGS-Japan (Lute & Early Guitar Society of Japan) and LGS-Europe.
