    Vielen Dank für die Recherche und die tiefgreifende Analyse dieses Themas, ich bin beeindruckt! Wenn mich mal wieder jemand fragt, warum ich nicht in der Philharmonie spiele (ich habe „nur“ alte Musik studiert) und warum ich nicht von der Musik leben kann, werde ich ihn auf dieses Video verweisen...

    I understand that a viola de gamba is not only harder to play but quite a different instrument when compared to the cello (not that I am suggesting the cello is easy). It is great to see these instruments still being played today.

    The balance seems off; 3 continuo seems overdone given this acoustic. In situ the balance may have been better; sensitive and engaged playing from all.

    It is no studio recording, look how the Mikes are placed... 😮, sure a more absorbing medium would have been optimal, less reverb, more space between instruments, an overhead x pair, and a pair for each instruments that would have been the optimal take on a 8 independent track recorder. Overall, I like Rien's style and I like this video for it is vivid and spontaneous.
