The musical identities of many composers are inseparable from the instrument they play. Think of Chopin and the piano. This is particularly true of the baroque composers, and modern day players of these instruments experience a camaraderie that defies time and place. We think of them as family. Some of them still require super human physical or intellectual efforts to understand their works or make them sound. Others, such as Marin Marais, my companion of over four decades, speak to us simply and immediately, his voice crystal clear.

More generous than most of his contemporaries in providing fingerings, bowings and even vibrato indications, his familiar voice guides us well through his many pieces for the bass viol. As company for the present journey through this wonderful repertoire, I have had the great good fortune to count as my fellow travellers Ronald Martin Alonso, Bertrand Cuiller and André Henrich, whom I fondly salute. It is difficult to describe the pleasure I have had sharing this music with them, and thanks to them, with you as you listen.

Nineteen years ago I was invited to play the Folies d’Espagne in Coral Gables, Florida. Thanks to these masterpiece variations I forged an immediate and long lasting bond with the Tropical Baroque Music Festival and its founder Kathy Gaubatz. This recording is dedicated to my friend Kathy, who would have been thrilled to attend the recording sessions at the church in Lassay-sur-Croisne, near the Château du Moulin, the home of friends she lovingly referred to as her „French Family“. …
