about this recording:
Johann Schenck's virtuoso and skillful viola da gamba playing was highly thought of and admired by his contemporaries. For the continuo of these "artistic exercises," this recording employs a dulcimer by the famous Amsterdam violin maker Henrik Jakobs, with whom Johann Schenck was probably personally acquainted.

Sonata XI, Allemande - Courant - Sarabande
"... with bravura Monika Schwamberger shows herself to be equal to the high degree of difficulty. The same is true of the continuo group. This recording is an interesting addition to the gamba discography." (Lübecker Nachrichten, 26 March 1999)
"... even just the sound (of the dulcimer) makes this CD an acoustic discovery." (Concerto 5/99)
