In this new album, Florence Bolton and Benjamin Perrot revisit the composer who gave their ensemble its delightful name, 'La Rêveuse'. Drawing on his heritage (Sainte-Colombe), his friendships (Robert de Visée) and his own visionary genius, Marin Marais blazed new trails for his instrument in his second book of viol pieces (1701). Alongside the customary dances and sets of variations, he invented the 'character pieces' that were to become so popular in the eighteenth century.
