  • This is just simply gorgeous :') I always hope to learn the Viola da Gamba some day :')

    This is without a shadow of a doubt one of my favourite genres of classical music <3

  • Las piezas para viola de gamba de Marais son increibles todas y cada una de ellas

  • so beautiful :)

  • this could make a believer out of me

  • Yea!!!!

  • Great piece of music and - as usual - superbly played by the three of you with much passion. You seem to also enjoy it !.

    Many thanks for the upload !

  • Only discovered your videos last night and have been enjoying them today in Texas! What a wonderful ensemble and love your sound. Being a Baroque lover myself it's always good to hear the real thing as played (or interpreted as closely as possible from our 21st Centure perspective) by the very Baroque masters we love so well.

  • Gorgeous music, played with great flair and total unity. I love it.

  • I took the liberty of sharing this video on my FB profile - with great pleasure!!!

  • Great temperament!!!!

    Marais with such a delightful swing!!!!

    Love it!

    Great continuo group, of course!!
