The last decades of my life I had the privilege to travel the world
playing concerts and recording CDs due to the loyalty of the audience,
who has granted us the honour of coming to our concerts, of buying our
CDs and thus made it possible for us to keep playing our music. I feel
deeply grateful to each one of you out there for participating in this
incredible trip. I feel responsibility towards the past and the future
to keep this kind of music alive and participate in my way in the
cultural wealth that history has provided for us. It is important to
have contents that are totally void of monetary relevance, such as
music, which is as fleeting as smoke and as eternal as the skies. (Hille Perl)
Hille Perl is one of
today's most brilliant and versatile gambists. She delivers excellent
performances of Abel's solo pieces and is an engaging soloist in the
concertos. Her cadenzas are technically impressive but especially
stylish. The collaboration with the Freiburger Barockorchester is
immaculate, and the result is a compelling disc of some of the best music for her instrument from the mid-18th century. I liked her
performance of the Graun concerto more than that of Vittorio Ghielmi of
another of his concertos. There
is no lack of drama here, but there is also elegance and refinement,
something I sorely missed in Ghielmi's recording.
If your are a gamba aficionado, don't miss this disc. (Johan van Veen)
