Not science! – More early music

Today another non-scientific entry; I’m posting a suite for viola da gamba by the French baroque composer Marin Marais, from his 5th book of pieces for the viol, Suite in g minor.

This is from a live concert many years ago I played with my good friend the Heidelberg lutenist Johannes Vogt, on the theorbo (a bass lute). I play 8 movements from the suite, broken into five files: 1. Prélude; 2. Fantasie-Allemande; 3. Sarabande-Gigue; 4. Tombeau pour Marais le Cadet; 5. Menuet-“la Géorgienne”

These recordings are copyright 2019 by Russ Hodge and Johannes Vogt.
