“The viola da gamba is the perfect vehicle for the musical tapestry of Fahmi Alqhai’s extraordinary disc” (…) “he brings the instrument into a new realm of joyful potential” (…) “A merry tribute to all [the viola da gamba] could have been, and still can be”

Carolina GillGRAMOPHONE · UK, May 2014

“The viola da gamba’s reputation for sober restraint is here laid to rest”

A PIACERE

Fahmi Alqhai

Considering the instrument as so much more than a relic from the decaying aristocratic age of Louis XV in France, Alqhai demonstrates by his choice of programme in A piacere and his playing – the viol’s versatility, flexibility and depth of emotional response: music from Spanish, German and French Baroque masters of the instrument are joined by Alqhai’s own version of the Joe Satriani Always with me, always with you rock number. Notably in his Satriani adaptation Alqhai create –in marvellous sound– a new demonstration of the creative freedom that old music can allow for in the right hands.
