Performing in an original French viol made in 1744 by Andrea Castagneri, Myrna Herzog brings to life the extraordinary work of the two great French virtuosos of the viola da gamba, Marin Marais and Antoine Forqueray, "the first said to play like an angel and the other like a devil" (Hubert Le Blanc, 1740). The music is remarkable, unusual, extravagant.
