? Robert Lach (1874-1958) was an Austrian scholar, (ethno)musicologist,
philosopher, Professor at the Wiener Akademie, in short a scientist pur
sang, with a passion for composing: he wrote a substantial oeuvre of 10
symphonies, masses, 25 string quartets and other chamber music. His
style is Post-Brahmsian: quietly flowing and arching melodies over rich
and late-romantic harmonies.
? Robert Lach was the last composer writing for the viola d’amore, an
instrument much in use in the baroque, but later overshadowed by the
violin and viola. This recording presents his complete 3 sonatas for this
instrument, as well as the 9 Lyrische Stücke.
? Italian violinist Valerio Losito is a strong advocate of this music, he
already recorded a highly praised viola d’amore solo album for Brilliant
Classics (BC94367) as well as sonatas by Veracini, Tessarini and Scarlatti.
? This disc is a FIRST RECORDING, and a real find!
? Extensive liner notes written by the artist.
