Credits:
Robert Smith (Viola da Gamba/Cello), Paolo Pandolfo
:
Robert Smith and Paolo Pandolfo, two master gamba players, compete in their virtuosity on this disc. The album’s centerpiece is a division (a work for a small viol that can be played using advanced techniques) by 17th-century English composer Christopher Simpson, which is combined with technical works by contemporaries Jenkins and Ives. The disc also includes one of Smith’s own works, allowing the listener to enjoy the viol’s elegant sound to their heart’s content.Naxos Japan
