Peter Wendland viols David Roblou harpsichord

German viol player Peter Wendland and English harpsichordist David Roblou are long-established international artists, known on CD through their work with leading early music ensembles: The Rose Consort of Viols and The New London Consort, as well as numerous individual solo appearances worldwide.

After 10 years giving occasional concerts together, Peter and David have decided to create a new ensemble and to offer three innovative programmes: Bach, and two new mixed programmes demonstrating the extraordinary variety of the repertoire, as well as the versatility and imagination of the artists.

Sample Programmes:

Bach: The three sonatas for viola da gamba and harpsichord obbligato (BWV 1027-1029), interspersed with transcriptions for viol or harpsichord solo from originals for lute (BWV 995) and lautenwerck (BWV 998)

Tastes Reunited - Corelli and Contemporaries: A stimulating programme, reflecting musical multiculturalism in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries: Corelli, Marais, Couperin, Barrière; the Italian and French styles united in German harpsichord music by Muffat and Froberger (musically “multilingual” and master of an amalgam of styles a century before Bach).

Englishmen at home and abroad/German emigrés in London:16th and 17th century music by English composers (Dowland/arr Byrd, Philips, Bull, Simpson, Hume, Young); 18th century sonatas by Germans settled in London: Handel, JC Bach and Abel.

Performances:
