Signum Records has this week announced the release of British viola da gamba virtuoso, Richard Boothby’s new album: Telemann: Fantasias for Viola da Gamba.

The disc features the 12 newly-discovered solo viol Fantasias of German-Baroque composer Georg Phillip Telemann (1681–1767).

“The viola da gamba already has a huge and fabulous solo repertory ... yet here we have 12 new works by a major composer turn up ... it’s a wonderful opportunity ..." Richard has told The Violin Channel.

“These are very varied and thrilling pieces, which I hope will provide an entertaining and interesting listening experience ... each is in a different key and each exploits the viol’s possibilities in different ways - by turns lyrical and virtuosic," he has said.
