Once beloved by princes and paupers, the viola da gamba soothed souls in a bygone era. Even by Johann Sebastian Bach’s lifetime, the gamba was fast becoming a relic. Yet late in his career, Bach was inspired to put together three sonatas for gamba and harpsichord—pieces that have formed the cornerstone of the modern gamba revival. For this intimate recital, gambist Erik Andersen joins harpsichordist Derek Tam for a night of Bach that will also include the French Suite No. 5 for solo harpsichord.'
