Description:

C.P.E. Bach & Abel: Sonatas for viola da gamba and fortepiano Contents C.P.E.Bach: Sonata in D major WQ 137, Sonata in G minor WQ 88, Sonata in C major WQ 136/ Karl Friedrich Abel: Sonata in D major, Sonata in E minor WK 150 Performers Rebeca Ruso (viola da gamba) Zebastian Wienant (Fortepiano) Recorded February 9-12, 2011 in Switzerland The sonatas of C.P.E. Bach, one of the best of the repertoire for viola da gamba, are coupled with two sonatas by Carl Friedrich Abel, a contemporary who is considered the last virtuoso of the viola da gamba. The combination of viola da gamba and fortepiano beautifully captures the rich nuances of this music from the Baroque to the Classical period, and the sensitive interpretations by Rebeca Rousso and Sebastian Wienant further enhance the appeal of this wonderful music.
