L’ENTENTE CORDIALE
RICHARD BOOTHBY & CHRISTOPHE COIN bass viols If the sound of one bass viol was considered full and complete, then two of them is an embarrassment of riches. Yet this combination was popular first here in England, home to some of the first great virtuosos of the instrument, including Matthew Locke, Christopher Simpson and M de Ste Colombe, and then across the channel, just as the fashion for it waned in England, providing a continuity of music from Ferrabosco to Couperin. Join two of Europe's finest virtuoso instrumentalists, Christophe Coin and Richard Boothby, on 19 March for this special programme of Anglo-French music which explores the two sides of this sometimes complex, musically fascinating partnership.
