about

Every appearance by Atsushi Sakai and Christophe Rousset leaves an unforgettable impression on those lucky enough to hear them on stage together. Long-time partners, they are reunited for the first time on record around a composer for whom they have a veritable cult: the mysterious Forqueray. Antoine Forqueray, born in Paris in 1672, is, along with Marin Marais, one of the greatest violinists of all time. His sulphurous life has given rise to many legends. Famous for his virtuoso improvisations, he never published any of his three hundred or so pieces and died in 1745 in Mantes. Apart from a few handwritten pieces copied from collections by various authors, Forqueray's pieces have been lost. The publication of the Pièces de viole, to which the present recording is devoted, thus remains the only significant record of his work.

Chaque apparition d'Atsushi Sakai et Christophe Rousset laisse un souvenir inoubliable à ceux qui ont eu la chance de les entendre communier sur scène. Partenaires de longue date, ils sont réunis pour la première fois au disque autour d'un compositeur pour lequel ils vouent un véritable culte : le mystérieux Forqueray. Antoine Forqueray, né à Paris en 1672, est avec Marin Marais l'un des plus grands violistes de tous les temps. Sa vie sulfureuse a nourri de nombreuses légendes. Célèbre pour ses improvisations virtuoses, il ne publie aucune de ses quelques trois cents pièces et meurt en 1745 à Mantes. Mises à part quelques pièces manuscrites copiées dans des recueils de différents auteurs, les pièces de Forqueray ont été perdues. La publication des Pièces de viole, auxquelles est consacré le présent enregistrement, demeure ainsi le seul témoignage important de son ouvre.
