Ibi Aziz viola da gamba
The virtuoso viol music of 17th century France is rich and deeply satisfying, but until recently it was largely unfamiliar to modern audiences. Alain Corneau's elegant 1991 film Tous les matins du monde brought Marin Marais and his great teacher Sainte Colombe to a wider public.
They feature in Ibi Aziz's programme alongside contemporaries like Forqueray -
Tobias Hume was an English adventurer and mercenary soldier who fought in the Russian and Swedish armies and died in poverty. He adored the viol, and wrote inventive and appealing music for it.
Ibrahim (Ibi) Aziz learned violin and piano at the age of seven, but by then had already fallen in love with the gamba. He later studied gamba with Alison Crum at Trinity College of Music, where he was the first winner of the Early Music Award, and first period instrument winner of the prestigious Gold Medal.
Apart from his solo career he is a member of the Rose Consort and director of the Maresienne Consort.
