(The viola d'amore is one of the most eerily beautiful and seductive instruments of the Baroque period. Garth Knox - a former member of the Ensemble Intercomtemporain and Arditti String Quartet - is joined by cellist Agnès Versterman in a late-night programme atmospherically mixing Baroque works by Marais, Hume, and the eighteenth-century viola d'amore virtuoso Attilio Ariosti, with modern-day compositions and improvisations.)
