An excellent compilation of Italian Renaissance works for the Viola da Gamba.
An excellent compilation of viol works, composed by Monsieur de Sainte Colombe (ca. 1640- 1700), a celebrated viol player from France. We know very little about his life, but his music speaks for itself.
I have seen this video recommended by Youtube several times and never played it. Having decided to listen to new composers today, I am glad I changed my mind. Marin Marais (1656- 1728), was a French composer who studied under Jean-Baptiste Lully no less, and whose son Roland (1685- c.1750-- same lifespan as Bach!) was also a composer. Notably, Marais played the viol, a beautiful instrument popular during the Baroque age.
