These players need to learn how to hold their bows correctly! They should to consult Christopher Simpson's DIVISION VIOL, and not French baroque sources!!! Of course, "FRETWORK" (what a name!) are grossly over-rated, and in no way comparable with the purity and beauty of the Dolmetsch consort recording of a Weelkes PAVAN a 6 in the 1920s! Arnold Dolmetsch would turn in his grave if he could see/ hear this lot: viol playing has got worse and worse and less and less authentic since AD revived the repertoire, thanks to upstart consorts such as this one.
Thank yo for your beautiful playing
