Featuring one of the greatest composers for viola da gamba, Marin Marais.
The son of a shoemaker,who was described to play the viol “like an angel”, according to Hubert Le Blanc’s 1740 treatise, rosed from his humble origins to the highest rung of the ladder at court thanks to his talent and ability to adapt to his environment. The success of his five books of pieces for viol shows that not only did his music enthral Versailles, it also captivated the Parisian bourgeois classes, naturally keen to imitate what was popular at the court of all courts.
