This review is from: Marais:Pieces DE Viole-3rd Book (Audio CD)

I'll be brief as I'm just passing through so to speak. I've had this cd for several years. Over time it has become one of my favorites, one which I can play and enjoy repeatedly without tiring of it. I would highly recommend this cd if you appreciate early french baroque (such as Couperin and Lully).

Each time I hear the opening of the first suite -- Suite I -- I am amazed. The emotion, tone, voice, melody are at once extremely sad, fragile, elegant, but above all beautiful.

I also own the 2nd book of viol pieces, and prefer the 3rd to the 2nd.
