Les Basses Réunies - Ortiz: Trattado de Glosas - The Sunday Times

Bruno Cocset and Guido Balestracci take turns playing the solo bass (and sometimes treble) viol parts in these 27 ricercars, effectively elegant fantasies on mostly pre-existing pieces. They bring burnished flair to these varied gems, part of the Spanish master Diego Ortiz’s 1553 treatise on ornamentation.
