Despite the fame that Carl Friedrich Abel achieved during his lifetime, he has fallen into obscurity in the two centuries since his death. He was well known during his life as a skilled viola da gamba player, and for his compositions. Along with Bach, he was responsible for setting up the first series of subscription concerts in the history of Western Music. Petr Wagner, renowned Czech gambist, delivers a thrilling performance of these works by Abel.
