About

Ralph Rousseau is not only a first rate classical performer, he is also a versatile musician who dares to try something different, and on this new CD he performs Christmas music - some popular, some relatively unknown - in his own arrangements for solo viola da gamba. The disc also includes four songs for voice and gamba, sung by the Dutch chansonniere Lenny Kuhr.

Since 2008, when his first CD
‘Chansons d’Amour’ was issued on the Challenge label, the career of viola da gamba player Ralph Rousseau has really taken off.

Much of this new CD is made up of Ralph Rousseau’s wonderful arrangements for solo viola da gamba of traditional English Christmas songs and carols like “On Christmas Night” and “The Lord at first did Adam make”, but the disc also includes other carols from around central Europe as well as a little known old Dutch song called “Laatnu alle droefheid vluchten” [Let Now All Sadness Flee].
