Don't know Eric. Hey, the site where I found a review of the disk is the Australian Viola Da Gamba Society. Whatever they are, they sure sounded good.
Okay, that makes more sense. I was intrigued by "bass viola" and had to do some research, which turned out nothing. Bass viola da Gamba (if you're interested) is somewhere between a cello and a double-bass. The Bass viola da gamba sure sounds beautiful. It has a wide range and is capable of playing in a very lyric manner and has also strong attacks. As the XVIIIth century progressed, lack of "sustain" of the Viola da Gamba family and their large sizes compared to the violin family made it less and less used.
