Review:
Exclellent de Visée
I like this disc very much. There are some very fine recordings of
de Visée’s solo works for lute, theorbo and guitar, but these
pieces, adapted from the composer’s own arrangements were new to
me. They are just as good and a real delight throughout.
De Visée was a very
fine composer, who was regarded as highly as Couperin, Forqueray and
others at Versailles. It is easy to see why from these works; they
are inventive, interesting and very enjoyable to listen to. Duo
Baroque La Tour play them beautifully; the combination of the theorbo
with the various flutes and recorders is extremely beguiling and the
musicianship is excellent, so the music really shines. It is very
well recorded and the notes are interesting and informative, so it’s
a really good release all round. Warmly recommended.
