{"product_id":"various-artists-risonanze_aec-fiha83-2","title":"Various Artists - Risonanze","description":"\u003cp\u003eRisonanze is the début solo album of London-based viola da gamba player Ibrahim Aziz, who is one of the greatest performers of the instrument of his generation. This recording is a performance of immense expression, expertly delivered on a viol made by English string maker Barak Norman in 1712. The album includes one of the highlights of the baroque era the Cello Sonata No. 2 by J.S. Bach as well as other baroque works. Risonanze also includes contemporary works, including one specially written for Aziz. Popular between the 15th-18th centuries, the viol has a unique quality of the sound through plangent tones of it's middle voice, silvery and vibrant high notes, and the depth of it's bass and human-like qualities. It's bow is played with a technique that discourages sharp attacks on the strings, but instead draws out and threads together each note like beautiful pearls on a maiden's neck, glowing with a silky halo. This quality of sound is not volume but resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"First Hand","offers":[{"title":"New \/ CD \/ Risonanze First Hand","offer_id":47243340513588,"sku":"FIHA83.2","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/7436\/1652\/files\/3912087.jpg?v=1768333704","url":"https:\/\/www.fye.com\/products\/various-artists-risonanze_aec-fiha83-2","provider":"FYE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
