Viola da gamba Edward Lewis, London, 1687
This lovely bass viol has many fans among the musicians of Orpheon; Margit Meckel, from Vienna, Austria, is most definitely one of them! She frequently performs on this instrument in the English programs, although for the solos in the Passions by Bach she prefers the viol by Joachim Tielke, also in the collection. Here in a performance in Gijón, Spain, August of 2005. On the organ, Vit Bebar, from the Czech Republic, our regular basso continuo player.
