About
After a first disc devoted to English music, La Rêveuse introduces us to the sound world of Louis de Caix d’Hervelois.
As heir to Marin Marais and one of his most brilliant pupils, Caix brought the bass viol new prestige in an era that was gradually abandoning the instrument.
This composer skilled in expressing the elegance and grace of the Enlightenment era left us a substantial and varied corpus of music, a vivid portrait gallery in which bass viol, ‘pardessus de viole’ and flute shine with especial lustre.

Awards and reviews
Christmas 2021
Louis de Caix d’Hervelois’s works for viol are every bit as graceful, plaintive and melodically inspired as Marais’s (who happened to be his teacher)... The Dmajor Suite is a delicate, florid work of great beauty, its fourth movement ‘Nightingale’ the perfect vehicle for Serge Saitta’s artistry.
May/June 2022
Saitta’s sound is sweet and pleasant, with no sharp edges, and his sensitive sense of line and phrasing gives the whole suite a relaxed refinement that is both accessible and sophisticated at the same time.
