The viola concertos weren’t so numerous as those of other instruments. Although the sound is fantastic being more full bodied than the violin, for example. The player is outstanding and the music is superb. Thanks for this wonderful interpretation.
BTW - You should be making recordings - A LOT MORE! Your playing is so excellent in many ways that you need to, for historical sake, be a lot more prominently well known and heard.
Dear Viola Bear, thank you so very much for your kind words! Please see my website for more info about myself. I would love to record a lot more too! nicoloeugelmi.com
@@NicoloEugelmi001 Thanks for the link to your website. I'm happy to see that your beautiful playing is being heard so widely. I love your performance of this little known, lovely Baroque concerto.
Gorgeous, altogether. Bravo! A new (for me) piece, rich brilliant viola tone and handling, lively interpretation. And perfect support by the ensemble. What a treat! Thank you. 🙏
Your sound is what I think a viola should sound like! I was even more surprised to see the shape of viola you're playing on - I have one that was made in the mid 2000s, a 16.5". So neat to see another out in the wild.
What strings and their gauge do you use? I like the sound of your instrument. I'm a retired professional concert level violist myself. You playing is magnificent as well as the ensembles' performance.
Dear Viola Bear, my viola is naturally a dark sounding instrument. In order to compensate for this, I've used Dominant Starks with a Jargar Medium A for 25 years. Please feel free to message me with any more questions!
+Nicolò Eugelmi was your viola made by the Japanese maker who also made violas for Michael Tree and Emmanuel Vardi? Whosoever made it I love what you do with it! I like this concerto very much and also the concerto by J N Doemming. Keep it up!
Thank you for your kind words! My viola was made by Alan Balmforth, Seattle, 1994. Iizuka violas have gamba corners, but Balmforth's have violin corners. Keep in mind that the general shape is that of the renaissance lira da braccio. Alan makes first class violas. As for Rolla, well yes, I hope to perform the Concertino and also the epic Concerto in E flat, Op.3. Both top shelf works!
