Alfonso Ferrabosco’s complete solo pieces from 1609 edition. Alfonso’s music is one of the most ambitious projects ever of gathering polyphony on a single bow instrument. Several pieces are solo versions of his own 5 pieces consort pieces. The instrument Paolo is playing has 8 extra sympathetic strings which, with their long resonances, create the illusion of being playing in a large hall or a church even while playing in a little, private room. Acoustic illusions… great music. Ferrabosco uses three different ways of tuning the instrument, each with providing a unique sound to the instrument. The order of the CD is exactly like the 1609 book.
