Between 1975 and 1983, Jordi Savall recorded five albums including the most beauticul pieces from each of the five "Books of Pieces for the Viol" composed by Marin Marais between 1686 and 1725. A silence of nearly 250 years came to an end. Arepertoire - and even better, an instrument - returned fromoblivion. The memory of a composer had never been so tighly linked to the performing art of amusician. Thirty-five years afer the beginning of this history-making enterprise, the five Astrée albums are eventually offered in a remastered sound, that fully rewards the genius of Marin Marais and Jordi Savall. Luxuriously documented - as always with Alia Vox - this anthology is a must-have for any Baroquemusic lover.
