II Dolcimelo: Sweet Music for Solo Viol
Carol Lewis, the viola da gamba player of Duo Maresienne, plays solo viol music by Virgiliano, Sumarte, Ferrabosco, Hacquart, du Buisson, Sainte-Colombe and Marais. The title comes from Aurelio Virgiliano's Il Dolcimelo, an Italian treatise of about 1600 that includes ricercars for solo instruments, and the programme also takes in English viol music by Sumarte and Ferrabosco and the French school of Sainte-Colombe and Marais.
