5.0 out of 5 stars Enivrez-vous, July 26, 2005

By	PdJ (NYC) - See all my reviews

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars You should audition it first, June 27, 2008

By	Thomas Frenock - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
