Some more interesting viols, carved in the Organ case panels at Eglise Notre-Dame church , Andely, France, case carved c.1573. The bodies of these viols are very Baroque and what we'd call violinesque (if we didn't know better), f-holes too. Interesting is comparing the two viols seen on the Eglis

Re: another concert for you

Re: FW: Weiss concerto reconstruction

Hi Roman, I'm not sure about that. Richard Stone did his reconstructions in the late 90s and performed them first in Prague in 2002 (?), so that seems not to be that likely. There had been some more concerto reconstructions by Tim Crawford and others before (Jerzy Zak etc. - I don't have time n
