_____________________

For this second recording, Salomé Gasselin has chosen Bach and Biber to explore the sacred mysteries that lie not in what we cannot understand but in what never ceases to reveal itself, and has transcribed iconic pieces from the viol repertoire for this purpose.

French viola da gamba player Salomé Gasselin won a unanimous first prize at the Gianni Bergamo Classic Music Award in Lugano, Switzerland in 2020. She studied in Marianne Muller’s class at the Lyon Conservatoire, at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in The Hague with Philippe Pierlot, and finally at the Salzburg Mozarteum with Vittorio Ghielmi. She plays a bass viol made in Paris by Simon Bongars in 1653.
