Product Description

Immerse yourself in the intricate and expressive world of Marin Marais with the comprehensive collection "Marin Marais: Pièces de viole des Cinq Livres." This album, released on Alia Vox in 2011, spans nearly two and a half hours and encapsulates the essence of Marais' mastery over the viol. The tracklist is a journey through his three published books of pieces for the viol, showcasing his evolution as a composer from 1686 to 1711.

The album opens with the elegant and introspective suites from the Premier Livre, composed in 1686. These pieces, including the haunting "Chaconne en sol majeur" and the lively "Fantaisie en écho," demonstrate Marais' ability to convey a wide range of emotions and moods. The Second Livre, published in 1701, features the famous "Folies d’Espagne" and the poignant "Tombeau po' Mons' de Lully," a tribute to the renowned composer Jean-Baptiste Lully.

The Third Livre, composed in 1711, is a testament to Marais' mature style, with intricate and expressive pieces such as "La Magnifique" and "La Muzette." The album also includes lesser-known gems like "Les voix humaines" and "La Plainte," showcasing Marais' versatility and innovation.

Marin Marais, a prominent French composer and viol player, was known for his expressive and technically demanding compositions. His works, deeply rooted in the French Baroque style, are celebrated for their melodic beauty, harmonic richness, and rhythmic vitality. This album is a testament to his enduring legacy and his significant contributions to the repertoire for the viol.

"Marin Marais: Pièces de viole des Cinq Livres" is not just a collection of pieces but a comprehensive exploration of Marais' oeuvre, offering a deep dive into the world of French Baroque music. Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album promises a rich and rewarding listening experience.
