Gottfried Finger (ok. 1660-1730): Furiosa - virtuoso music for two bass viols

Horsley, Jessica;
Hatcher, David

PC 10228

None of the 30 plus works for viols from the Sünching Codex, recently attributed to Gottfried Finger, has been recorded previously, and most of them remain unpublished. These pieces represent the very pinnacle of beauty and technical prowess of the epoch, stretching the instrument to its very limits. As well as working with various early music ensembles such as Ferrara (Crawford Young) and Gilles Binchois. Jessica Horsley has taken part in performances of new music with Collegium Novum and Ensemble Modern (Frankfurt/Main) with Heinz Holliger. David Hatcher began his career based in England, performing with his own chamber ensemble Harmonie Universelle and as a guest with The New London Consort and Fretwork. Today he works with the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, the Consort of Musicke and with numerous other period ensembles and orchestras.
