Leonardo da Vinci sketched the viola organista, but never built it. Centuries later, Polish claviolinist and composer Sławomir Zubrzycki brought it to life — a bowed keyboard instrument whose sound lies between piano and violin, yet beyond both.
His new album ‘Viola Organista: Monologues & Dialogues’ explores this singular voice in works by Dowland, Marais, Bach and more. Out October 24.
