Intimate and refined, this album contributes to the rebirth of this little-known instrument. Mélisande Corriveau on the viola, a smaller version of the viola da gamba, and Eric Milnes on harpsichord tackle a selection of pieces by Jean Barrière, Louis De Caix d’Hervelois, Jean Bodin de Boismortier and Charles Dollé. For the discovery of a repertoire rarely played, this record is a jewel. Perfect sound recording for a bold project.
