The viola bastarda is characterized by its technically demanding and brilliantly ornamented playing. This album features a sequence of tracks that alternates between the original madrigals and chansons and the viola bastarda improvisations derived from them. Paolo Pandolfo, who has previously demonstrated his talent in numerous albums centered on improvisation, displays his dazzling virtuosity here, preserving for posterity the legacy of the “virtuoso viola da gamba” that flourished in Italy around 1600.\nTokyo M Plus\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glossa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53525290123553,"sku":"4947182112915","price":3143.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4947182112915.jpg?v=1789730682","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4947182112915","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
