Johanna Rose: 7 Movements
Johanna Rose Viola Da Gamba

7 Movements; three suites each with seven movements. In her intriguing new album, viola da gambist Johanna Rose places a prelude by Sainte-Colombe (father)in front of the six movement Bach suite in D Minor, and finished the D major Bach suite with a chaconne by Sainte-Colombe. The third ‘suite’ is an all family affair with music by both father and son, fashioned into a suite by Rose. Johanna Rose’s other albums for Rubicon have been praised by reviewers. Here are some comments for RCD1041 Histoires d’un Ange – ‘Deliciously contemplative…a fine recital’ BBC Radio3 Record Review. ‘enormously enjoyable…and so well has the programme been put together’ The Strad. Her first album for the label was devoted to CPE Bach ‘fascinating and fantastic gamba sonatas from Bach junior’ The
