This is the final instalment of Les Voix humaines’ ambitious cycle of recordings of the complete works for two viols by Sainte-Colombe, the first ever in the history of recording.
Considered by many to be the greatest 17th-century gambist, Sainte-Colombe was the subject of the celebrated 1991 film Tous les matins du monde. Though much of his life remains a mystery, the emotional depth of Sainte-Colombe’s music still haunts us with its range of expression and contrasts in tone and colour.
