Customer Reviews Very Beautiful & Better than I Thought A few dozen violas produce an immense breadth of sound. I bought this CD out of curiosity. Add to this some high-level playing, plus a variety of pieces. A wonderful way to explore the instrument. . The best of large group viola The mellow but sonorous sound that is unique to the viola is amplified 48 times - nothing else does tribute to the viola like this recording. This is a most unique collection of works. This is the BEST recording for viola that I've ever heard!. Violins and 'celli. Who needs 'em?? With the exception of some percussion here and there, a harp and the occasional string bass, these selections are NOTHING but violas. A delightful exercise in orchestration, this recording features 48 violas from the major London orchestras in numbers ranging from Gershwhin to Bacharach to Faure. .
