This June has not been a stimulating month in terms of musical discoveries and by the looks of next week, it doesn’t seem to improve much. This week was just a bundle of generic background classical music. The only piece that raised my curiosity a bit was the prelude from 27 Pieces for Viola da Gamba by Carl Friedrich Abel, a close friend of J. C. Bach, largely unknown now for his compositions, but a renowned player of the viola da gamba in his time.
IDAGIO and Amazon for: Jakob David Rattinger (Viola da Gamba)
