Human voices

Marin Marais' viola pieces, known to the public since Pascal Quignard's Tous les Matins du Monde, are among the most beautiful works of Baroque music.

Marais makes the viola speak, to the point that it could be said that, with him, the instrument almost achieves the perfection of the human voice.

From Folies d'Espagne to Tombeau pour Monsieur de Sainte Colombe, this programme revisits the lives of Marais and his teacher, the unforgettable Monsieur de Sainte Colombe.
