Piezas de viola de los libros primero y tercero de Caix D'Hervelois interpretadas por Jordi Savall, a la viola bajo; Ton Koopman, al clave; Arianne Maurette, a la viola bajo y Hopkinson Smith, a la tiorba.
Louis De Caix D'Hervelois - together with marin marais and antoine forqueray, among a small handful of viol da gamba virtuosi and composers who fought desperately to save the basse de viol from obsolescence at the end of louis XIV's reign; ironically, their technically brilliant but extremely difficult compositions had the opposite effect, and the gamba was rarely used or heard until its revival in the 20th century. i have this album on vinyl :D
