Robin Pharo

Suite d'un goût étranger

Description

At the height of his career as a violist, Marais published in 1717 this Suite d’un goût étranger, a true initiatory journey through the most unexpected musical styles. He paints a multifaceted portrait of the art of the viola da gamba at the Court of France, almost avant-garde in its boldness. Louis XIV heard these pieces at the twilight of his life and must have taken infinite pleasure in a necklace set with shimmering gemstones, all different: Tourbillon, Bijou, Tartarine, Asmatique, Sauterelle, Américaine, Caustique, Badinage, Arabesque, Fougade, Bizarre, and finally Labyrinthe, which shows how one can lose oneself with delight in the 30 exotic stops of this odyssey, with Robin Pharo as the pilot, leading a valiant crew that knows how to be playful, bouncy, languorous, and virtuosic in turn!
