Visee (1650-1725)

Description:

The Sun King's Guitar Teacher, Robert de Vizier, a masterpiece of the Sun King's guitar teacher Robert de Vizier, a court musician who worked as a guitar teacher for the Sun King Louis XIV. He was known as a great teacher of theorbo and guitar, and his remaining works are very valuable because they celebrate the value of these instruments as solo instruments rather than as bass instruments. Theorbo solo CDs are scarce, so this album is a must for lovers of ancient music. The impact of the plucked strings, the rich reverberation, and the solid weight of the theorbo can be enjoyed. The exquisite rhythmic relaxation of the ornamented notes and the stirring strokes are captivating. Xavier Diaz-Latre was born in Barcelona in 1968. He is a member of Esperión XXI, and has also performed with the Concerto Vocale, the Berlin Academy of Ancient Music, and the Concerto Cologne. King International
