This review is from: Marais: Le Labyrinthe & autres histoires... /Pandolfo * Meyerson * Boysen (Audio CD)

The park, some laughs, red wine, light dress, "regards complices", short breath, soft and sweet talks to the ear, "lit a baldaquin" and... Marin Marais/PK.

You are ready to experience an unforgettable moment...the ecstasy is not far. A total refinement.

This review is from: Marais: Le Labyrinthe & autres histoires... /Pandolfo * Meyerson * Boysen (Audio CD)

Although this recording is superb, I purchased it for one song (Chaconne en rondeau, for viola da gambe & continuo in G major (Pièces de viole, Book II, No. 82)) that I had heard on an online radio source. This particular selection is definitely not characteristic of Marais's works. However, it is interesting to note the amazing similarity to Enya's piece that gives no credit to Marais.
