Description

ENSEMBLE LES TIMBRES Yoko KAWAKUBO violin Myriam RIGNOL viola da gamba Julien WOLFS harpsichord   Marin MARAIS (1656–1728) La Gamme et autres Morceaux de Symphonie pour le Violon, la Viole et le Clavecin La Gamme, en forme de petit Opéra Sonate à la Marésienne Sonnerie de Ste Geneviève du Mont de Paris Paris, 1723: Marin Marais publishes his final masterpiece, La Gamme et autres Morceaux de Symphonie, an extraordinary collection for violin, viola da gamba and harpsichord. The first piece, in the form of a small opera, places drama at the centre of the music. The second work, by contrast, is pure virtuosity. Finally, the emblematic Sonnerie de Sainte Geneviève du Mont repeats the tones of three bells to the point of hypnosis. Yoko Kawakubo, Myriam Rignol and Julien Wolfs reign in splendour over this music, casting the final glow of the Grand Siècle.
