Robert de Visée (c.1655 1732) was a French lutenist, guitarist, and Court musician for both Louis XIV and Louis XV.
Suite H-Moll is also known as Suite No. 11 in B Minor. It iswritten in 5 movements: Prélude Allemande Sarabande Gigue Passacaille. First published in the 1680s, it was almost certainly written when de Visée was already a respected musician at Versailles, and wasprobably performed in front of the Kings on many occasions.
De Visée would have used a 5 string Baroque Guitar. It has been arranged for the modern 6 string instrument by the noted Guitar arranger andvirtuosoKarl Scheit.
