CARL FRIEDRICH ABEL (1723-1787): Sonatas for Viola da Gamba and Bass, A2:7, 50, 53, 56A, 57, 72 & 75, 2 movements from A2:67.

Description: Since March 2007 when Pandolfi’s first Abel/gamba music release came out, there have been at least half a dozen other CDs that have explored this repertoire. Yet plenty remains to be heard, as many of these sonatas here were recently discovered and are recorded for the first time. Paolo Pandolfo (gamba), Amélie Chemin (cello, gamba), Andrea Buccarella (fortepiano, harpsichord), Thomas Boysen (lute).
