Background: ‘The Viol was favoured by King Louis XIV, (…) the elder Marais for his Pieces, & the elder Forcroi for his preludes tending towards the Sonata. The former was said to play like an Angel, & the latter like a Devil.’ This is how contemporaries referred to the great virtuoso Antoine Forqueray, who has left these superb examples of his bravura writing, so devilishly hard to perform that he was accused of having driven amateur players away from his instrument! A challenge that is met in masterly fashion by Jordi Savall and his companions.
