Judith Davidoff

Judith Davidoff (21 October 1927 – 19 December 2021) was an American viol player, cellist, and performer on the medieval bowed instruments. She was considered the “Grande Dame of the viol”, "a master of the viola da gamba and other stringed instruments" and "a central part of the early-music scene." Her recorded performances reflect her wide range of repertoire and styles, including such works as Schoenberg's ''Verklaerte Nacht'' and 13th-century monody. She is responsible for the catalog of 20th- and 21st-century viol music. Provided by Wikipedia
