On WCRB In Concert with the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Rachel Barton Pine presents a recital on violin and viola d’amore, including the Gardner Museum's extraordinary 1770s viola d'amore with seven bowed strings and additional sympathetic strings that create a silvery, glowing sound. Switching between modern violin, her own viola d'amore, and the museum's rare 1770s viola d'amore, Barton Pine performs a program of works from 1720 all the way through to the 20th century.
