Marin Marais, les Voix Humaines
France / Sceaux
To go through Marais's magnificent second book of viol pieces is to relive the heartfelt 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, via lesser-known pieces, this new recording, not unlike Tous les Matins du Monde, takes us back to a pivotal moment in the French viol school.
