German viola player Nadine Henrichs presents an exquisite collection of original works and arrangements for viola from the 18th century. Most pieces are soloistic, while two sonatas by Flackton and Bach are for small chamber ensemble. With this album, Nadien Henrichs has fulfilled a long-standing dream of hers: starting an attempt to elevate the baroque viola from its ridiculed niche existence. Since her first studies, Nadine has always played the viola with great passion in various chamber music projects. She plays as guest and member in several ensembles. Nadine plays her own baroque viola, built in Vienna in 1775 by Johann Georg Thir.
