A virtuoso performance. The acoustics in the room make the sound linger in all its glory. Well done.

[@nogoogleplus]

Nice.....the reverb in that church is epic, bet it was super inspiring to play in there.

[@allysloper1882]

It was a good choice of venue, it really needs a room with good acoustics to hear these instruments at their best.

[@acyutanandadas1326]

@@allysloper1882 Hence the term 'chamber music''

[@pbasswil]

Honestly, I prefer how they sound in a medium chamber. :^/ For me, the long decay kind of overwhelms the intimacy, and smears the harmony when the chords changes faster than the reverb decays. An organ can power thru that issue; but this isn't that loud an instrument.

[@trabouliste1037]

@@pbasswilThe reverberation of this room is very challenging for every bowed string player. Some years ago I heard a concert from the Kronberg Academy in the church St. Peter und Paul in Kronberg with young cello players. Only one of them mastered the heavy reverberation of this nave.

She plays with fire and soul.

[@enzocypriani5055]

its for art like this that im still alive!

[@mattbounds7758]

Viola da Gamba has a such a different character to the Cello I'm coming to love it. I can't help but stop and listen, especially to CF Abel's music.

[@trabouliste1037]

Sure that you can hear the difference between viola da gamba and baroque cello in different recordings of the Bach cello suites (I know one played on viola da gamba) or the Bach viola da gamba sonatas (there are many interpretations with baroque cello (including cello piccolo)?

[@Junior-tq8hv]

One of my top favourite baroque instruments. Beautiful.

[@Topstone1]

I landed here after watching Jordi Savall play some Bach & I'm reminded new generations of early music artists have the opportunity to build upon the ground laid for them by their teachers/ influences. I see HOURS of daily practice in Isabel's playing, and imo, an appealing sense of interpretation ...which communicates to the listener both the artist's passion and the composer's imagination. Imagipassion! Health and long life. All Good All Ways :)

[@3340steve]

Thank you for the excellent music, your playing is wonderful, very much capturing the spirit of the composition. Bravo !!!

[@АндрейУгорский]

Bravo Isabel!!! Yor music clean my soul and take me through the times and spaces...

[@Guuzaka]

She plays the 7-string bass viola da gamba exceptionally well.

[@hellomate639]

She's very good. I think there are a couple spots where she rushes a couple passages. She's still young. She is very good.

[@albatros44444]

Incredible! Something cold is running down my neck. This music moves me deep inside. Cant imagine how it is possible to play it. ❤

[@mastersofharmonica6200]

I find myself fascinated by this instrument, and I love her playing

[@carlosazteca8441]

Le talent et la beauté se combinent sans aucun doute dans l'exécution de ce magnifique instrument !!

[@pierreitey1814]

Une demoiselle exceptionnelle!! Grand merci Isabelle.

[@ps-ic8pm]

Beautiful. The music, musician, and location. Didnt realize the viola da gamba was that small.

[@giorgiocorazza9342]

The viola da gamba is also known as violoncello piccolo, or violoncello inglese.

[@rlilac643]

The Viola Da Gamba needs to return

Quelle profonde beauté...

[@TheAnonyy]

Sounds fantastic

[@Jimbodisfan]

This is amazing. Bravo! The viola da gamba looks smaller than a cello, with a stand.

[@estremp]

Viola is a big family with various size. Some bigger than this one.

[@Trevoirio]

That was really very good. Very impressed.

[@danielwaitzman2118]

Wonderful playing.

Wow I've never seen this instrument before. Sounds beautiful :)

[@jeanclaudebearzatti3500]

Bravo. Très belle interprétation

[@jesusislord4656]

I know that it's about our hearts when it comes to worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ with music, but I think a viola da gamba would be wonderful for worship. Worship music with all baroque instruments would be cool!

[@waladaislamicart]

Precioso enhorabuena

[@ollioikarinen]

ahh, thank you! I've been playing cello for decades and gamba for few years, and this is the best playing I've seen so far. Abel's Arpeggio would maybe have worked better (and easier) with long bows though... but very aggressive and really really nice anyway!

[@juanjose-wq4jn]

beautiful simply

[@bettinamuller2195]

Wow, Wunder schön!

[@rafaeltoledo923]

Divine!!!

[@cemiariale5345]

Y es que me impresiona lo rápido que toca, woooow,ya ni yo!!!

Bravo!

[@tarikabaraka2251]

La viola da gamba es un instrumento musical perteneciente a la familia de los cordófonos de arco, provisto de trastes. Fue muy utilizado en Europa entre finales del siglo XV y las últimas décadas del siglo XVIII.

[@IlsKomet]

Brilliant!

[@WilliamFord972]

Please tell me this instrument is making a comeback.

[@sitrakamatthieu]

since you watched this video the answer is easy and it's YES. (cuz yeah man u hain't that old for having such and pp ^^" )

[@oranfine7946]

It will be if you tell me where to buy one

[@jasonsummit1885]

You can get them off of eBay for a rather expensive price if you want a quality made instrument. If you are on a budget, there are some that are under $500 but they are made in China.

[@alexandermackay-smith2364]

Yes, for about a century now, though it was a little slow on the takeoff. Arnold Dolmetsch was recording with viole da gamba in the 1920s and '30s. A lot of those old 78s have been reissued in various formats. Research has brought improvement both in instrument-making and performance - as here we see. Hear.

[@acyutanandadas1326]

William Ford The instrument is making a comeback

[@PostmortemSects]

amazing!

[@kelsocampbell1301]

...wonderful....I imagine you likely grew up playing cello and holding the bow on top. How did you learn to hold the bow from underneath...it really makes sense in a way to hold the bow that way....I wonder if there are any modern cellists who hold the bow from underneath? thanks

[@lauraktorza4860]

absolument magnifique ☺☺☺
