Critically acclaimed Amsterdam-based viola da gamba player Robert Smith joins with the celebrated Italian harpsichordist Francesco Corti to present a new recording of four prime examples of this genre, Bach’s three Sonatas for Viola da Gamba and Harpsichord along with a Sonata by his close contemporary Christopher Schaffrath.
Completing the album is a new work by Robert Smith – based on Henry Purcell’s “Dido’s Lament” this innovative new work for the instrument absorbs broad influences from both the eighteenth century and the heavy-metal band Metallica.
