At the time of writing, this CD has been on the market for 22 years, and it must be said from the outset that its technical side does not and cannot match up with the standard of later high-bit recordings, nor indeed, to be honest, with the 80's recordings made, for example, by Andreas Glatt for the Accent label in Belgium: the instruments can, indeed, be clearly heard, but there would have been a good deal of room for more spacious use of stereo technology, and possibly the microphones could have been just that little bit nearer to the musicians. What really brings in the four stars is the interpretation of this fairly rare chamber music by Trio Sonnerie - today almost an early music byeword, but back in 1986 still at the beginning of its illustrious career. Monica Huggett's Bach playing is, in my opinion, "just right", and I certainly prefer her interpretation to the much more sombre one given by John Holloway (together with Davitt Moroney and Susan Sheppard on EMI/Virgin: (Bach: Sonatas for Violin & Keyboard). Incidentally, these are not excerpts from Bach's famous set of sonatas but separate ones whose authenticity has only been established in the 20th century. The sound of baroque instruments has a fascination of its own, and the viola da gamba with its warm, slightly nasal tone is here given a lovely outing and displayed well by Sarah Cunningham, both as continuo player and as soloist. The Schmelzer und Erlebach pieces demonstrate well how the violin and the viola da gamba can harmonize together, while the suite by Schenk (in fact, a Dutchman, but he lived for a long time in Düsseldorf) puts the viola da gamba centre-stage. (Schenk's music is not well-known, but Les Voix Humaines produced two lovely Naxos discs with music of his for two violas da gamba, well worth exploring: Schenck: The Nymphs of the Rhine, Vol. 1 (Sonatas for Two Violas da Gamba) / Les Voix Humaines and Schenk: The Nymphs of the Rhine, Vol. 2. With Böhm and Erlebach we arrive back in Thuringia, Bach's home territory. The Böhm Suite is fairly short (only about six minutes) and gives Mitzi Meyerson a chance to shine. Erlebach is almost completely forgotten, even today, but he was court musician at Rudolstadt and his sonata offers another chance to hear this superb violin-viola da gamba team at work.
