[CelloHate9]

oh thank you oh thank you! there is NOTHING like a marais peice to make the world melt away! love this stuff, thanks again, hope you have as much fun playing as I do listening!!

[AlsatianCousin]

Blah blah blah - we have so many masterminds here sharing their deep insights on how music should performed that it makes me yawn. We all know you know it all, you know... lol

Like the Marais Chaconne video by the same artists, this is a live concert recording from the International Music Festival in Istanbul, Turkey.

I wonder if Marais gamba pieces work for guitar...to the library!

[mayura97]

You are spirited!

[modemkorv]

Very humorous idea to play another viol part with guitar :-) Thanks!

Balance problems...happen when you arrange fine music like this for a modern and period instrument..it is a bit of shame, expecially coming from established performers.

[cemduruoz]

Well, balance issues are complicated even in a pure period group. I can never hear the theorbo, sometimes even the harpsichord in a pure period instrument concert. I think what is a good balance is a relative concept. With an open mind I would look at the overall effect, which sounds good to me in this case...

[PHALANX100BC]

I agree to a point...possibly having an open tuning for the guitar(in the song's key of course) would produce a more lute-like effect and resonate better and cut through some more....
