about

Often labelled as 'the last gambist' and a 3rd-generation viol performer, Carl Friederich Abel (1723-1787), was son of Christian Ferdinand Abel, performer in court ensembles led by Johann Sebastian Bach. After studies with Bach Leipzig and a post to Johann Adolf Hasse's court orchestra in Dresden, Abel joined the London court of Queen Charlotte where he befriended Bach's son, Johann Christian with whom he established the Bach-Abel Concerts running from 1765-1781. Abel left behind a sizable body of work for the viola da gamba, which has expanded to over 400 surviving works in recent years due to several significant musicological finds.
