Susanne Heinrich (viola da gamba)
Gramophone Awards 2008 GRAMOPHONE AWARD WINNER
GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE
Carl Friedrich Abel (1723–1787) was a contemporary of J C Bach, and a fashionable performer and promoter in London in the eighteenth century. By that time the viola da gamba was a rarity, but Abel's performances sparked a revival of interest among performers and audiences. The works recorded on this disc (six of which have never been previously recorded) can be seen as musical expositions of sensibility, inhabiting the same tragic world as the gamba solos in J S Bach's Passions. Abel's contemporary Charles Burney commented on the musician's ability to ‘breathe' the notes as he played them, and this extraordinary sensitivity is present too in the beautiful playing of Susanne Heinrich.

Music from her own library

'Aunt Jane began her day with music...much that she played from was manuscript, copied out by herself…' Her manuscripts survive, and this programme is drawn from them: a mixture of the light and fashionable music of the day for flute, voice and piano, recorded in her home at Chawton in Hampshire.
