Possibly written as a homage to Marin Marais, the great master of the basse de viol who had recently passed away at the age of seventy-two, François Couperin’s Pièces de Violes, published in 1728, are today considered as one of the finest masterpieces of baroque chamber music and one of the absolute pinnacles of the viola da gamba repertoire, comparable in rank to J.S. Bach’s 3 Sonatas for Viola da Gamba and Harpsichord.

This is reissue of a 1975 recording on the Astrée label. Jordi Savall’s interpretations of the two suites, which comprise Couperin’s Pièces de Viole, are free, spontaneous and sensible to the elusive nuances of what Couperin called ‘le bon goût’. Using a seven-string instrument, he plays the two elegiac preludes in supple, improvisatory vein, controls the pacing of the hypnotic ‘Passacaille ou Chaconne’ of Suite no. 1 with structural insight, realises the sombre ‘Pompe funèbre’ of no. 2 with conviction and adds an endearing vivacity and elegance to ‘La Chemise blanche’. Some of the first suite’s dances lose their vital characteristics – notably the gavotte and the somewhat laboured gigue – such is the ease and freedom with which Savall dispatches them, but his account of the ‘Sarabande grave’ has all the requisite poetry and melancholy. Ton Koopman and Ariane Maurette provide discreet continuo accompaniments.
