About

"Young people danced on the songs, as it is generally the case at the Court. Everybody could play and listen to the beautiful concert of Visé, Marais, Descoteaux and Philbert. The feast lasted till midnight and the marriage was celebrated in the Chapel of the Hotel de Créquy" 3 February 1696.

This new Flora recording tries to reproduce the concert as it has been described by Mister de Coulanges to his cousin Madame de Sévigné. Original works of Hotteterre, Gaultier de Marseille, de Visée, transcriptions from Lully and an unpublished Marais suite for viol are forming the programme.

Needless to say that this is a most interesting and in fact very important recording as it brings us some unknown works by Marais alongside pieces from collections which are seldom recorded. The standard of playing is - as with almost any Flora recording - of the highest order.
