About

Silvestro di Ganassi, in his Regola Rubertina and the sequel Lettione seconda, and Diego Ortiz with the Trattado de glosas were the very first composers to write specifically for the viola da gamba. As such, their treatises, with texts and compositions, give an invaluable insight into the performance practice of the time, i.e. mid 16th century.

Early music specialist, Bettina Hoffman, gives striking performances of this Renaissance music. To a large extent, Ortiz avoids the later polyphonic possibilities of the instrument while Ganassi clearly expects a high technical ability, writing a large number of double stops.
