Info for Alfonso Ferrabosco II: Complete Music for Solo Lyra Viol

Seit dreißig Jahren ist Paolo Pandolfo einer der führenden Gambisten seiner Generation, der das Repertoire seines Instruments in alle Richtungen erforscht und fördert. Im Jahr 1989 wurde er zum Nachfolger von Jordi Savall als

Nachfolger von Jordi Savall zum Professor für Viola da Gamba an seiner Alma Mater, der Schola Cantorum Basiliensis (SCB), ernannt, eine Position, die er bis heute innehat.

Auf dieser neuen Aufnahme in der SCB-Reihe bei GLOSSA präsentiert Pandolfo die kompletten Solostücke für Lyra-Gambe, die in Alfonso Ferraboscos 1609 in London erschienenen Lessons or 1. 2. and 3. Gamben.

Die Lyra-Gambe ist eine besondere Art von Viola da Gamba, bei der unter den normalen Saiten Resonanzsaiten angebracht sind, wodurch eine faszinierende Klangfülle entsteht, die oft von mehr als einem Instrument erzeugt zu werden scheint. Das Spiel ist äußerst virtuos, da es mit speziellen Bogentechniken mehrstimmige Werke simuliert, die für ein Gambenkonsortium geschrieben wurden.

Ferrabosco stand in den Diensten von Prinz Heinrich, dem Thronfolger, und war sein Musiklehrer. Es wird angenommen, dass diese Solostücke für Heinrich selbst geschrieben wurden, um in der königlichen „Privy Chamber“ aufgeführt zu werden.

Paolo Pandolfo, Viola da Gamba

Paolo Pandolfo
Widely admired as a virtuoso exponent of the viola da gamba through his concert performances and recordings of key composers from Germany, France, Spain, England and his native Italy, Paolo Pandolfo has in recent years been developing the instincts and skills for improvising and composing. He began his research in the field of renaissance and baroque musical idioms around 1979 along with violinist Enrico Gatti and harpsichordist Rinaldo Alessandrini. Studies with Jordi Savall at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Switzerland were followed by membership of Savall’s Hespèrion XX between 1982 and 1990. A highly successful recording of the CPE Bach Sonatas for viola da gamba (on Tactus) in 1990 saw Pandolfo nominated as Professor of viola da gamba at his alma mater, the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, where he has been concentrating his teaching activities ever since.

Since 1997 all of Paolo Pandolfo’s recordings have appeared on Glossa. The odyssey commenced with the first complete recording of Antoine Forqueray’s Pièces de Viole, followed by discs devoted to the music of Tobias Hume, Marin Marais (Le Labyrinthe et autres histoires was devoted to character music whilst Grand Ballet focused on Marais’ gestures and dance music) and Sainte-Colombe. Pandolfo has regularly ventured beyond the realms of Renaissance and Baroque notated music for his instrument; he achieved a notable success with his own transcription of the six Bach Solo Suites and recorded an unaccompanied recital, A Solo. Travel Notes and Improvisando have further demonstrated Pandolfo’s command of the possibilities of the viola da gamba as a composer himself.

His performing activities have taken him all over the world, playing with artists such as Emma Kirkby, Rolf Lislevand, Rinaldo Alessandrini, Mitzi Meyerson, José Miguel Moreno and many others. He has been described as the Yo Yo Ma of the viol. Since 1992 he has been directing Labyrinto, a group of four or five viola da gambas, which is dedicated to the huge consort music repertoire.

Paolo Pandolfo builds bridges between the past and the present, bringing spontaneous and immediate life in the performance of baroque and renaissance music using medias such as improvisation, transcriptions and composition of modern pieces, being convinced that the patrimony of ancient music can be a powerful inspiration for the future of the western musical tradition.
