In the hands of a real musician, the viola has the most beautiful sound. The only reason we don’t hear it more often as a solo instrument is a somewhat limited repertory. This week we present two violists, Brett Deubner and Eric Nowlin. Both have performed extensively in the US and abroad, both are technically brilliant and have a wonderful sound. Brett Deubner performs several smaller pieces and, as befits a champion of modern music, the finale of the viola concerto by Frank Lewin. Eric Nowlin plays Franck’s violin sonata transcribed for viola. Listen to these viola selections here and please browse the site: we have much more in our library.
