The Human Voices - Marin Marais

To go through the magnificent second book of viol pieces by Marais is to relive the impulses and demons of an extremely gifted and sensitive young musician, eager to succeed. From Tombeau pour Monsieur de Sainte Colombe to Folies d'Espagne, not forgetting some lesser-known pieces, this programme, reminiscent of Tous les Matins du Monde, takes us back to a pivotal moment in the French viol school.
