Echo du Danube is a well established, pan-European period instrument ensemble with four previous titles on the Accent label to it's credit; all of them garnered favorable responses from Fanfare reviewers J. F. Weber, Bertil van Boer and Michael Carter. I have nothing but the highest admiration for the performances on this disc. Depending on the scoring, there are as many as three violinists and one violist in the mix; the upper strings are expressive, supple, and suave. Director Christian Zincke also functions as the bass viola da gamba player, and together with keyboardist Lutz Gillmann they provide a solid underpinning for the group. Gillmann alternates between harpsichord and chamber organ; I find the sonority of the latter especially appropriate in the context of the string ensemble. Ample annotations and a thoroughly natural-sounding engineering job complete the picture. Another fine addition to the already extensive Accent catalog. Highly recommended.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Sonata for Violin ; Viola Da Gamba, Op. 1\/1 \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Sonata for 3 Violins, Op. 1\/9 \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Sonata for 2 Violins ; Viola, Op. 1\/11 \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Sonata for 2 Violins ; Bass Viol, Op. 1\/5 \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Sonata for 3 Violins, Op. 1\/7 \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Sonata for Violin ; Viola Da Gamba, Op. 1\/3 \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Sonata for 2 Violins ; Viola, Op. 1\/12 \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Sonata for 2 Violins ; Bass Viol, Op. 1\/4 \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Sonata for 2 Violins ; Viola, Op. 1\/10 \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Sonata for 3 Violins, Op. 1\/8 \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Sonata for Violin ; Viola Da Gamba, Op. 1\/2 \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Sonata for 2 Violins ; Bass Viol, Op. 1\/6\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Echo du Danube","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40556763021383,"sku":"16071148","price":17.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/2299580.jpg?v=1747356739","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/finger-echo-du-danube-sonatae-pro-diversis-instrumentis-op-1","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
