Maran Marre's Viol Collection Volume 2! The second volume of Marin Marre's Viol Collection is now available on LP, including the "Spanish Folia" at the beginning. ASTREE source recorded in 1976 (now included in AVSA 9872 box as SACD Hybrid disc). The sound, which the late Tetsuo Nagaoka famously described as "thick, abrasive, and lustrous, sometimes even insistent," is also a major attraction. Again, the air is thick with reverberation, a bass sound that cannot be heard anywhere else. The music of Marre, played by Savard, can be savored to the fullest. The music is not a follia, but rather a music that can be heard from the other side of serenity and contemplation. «The deep and warm tone of the "Human Voice" is the very best of analog reproduction.Manuel Mojino, an engineer well known for his work on ALIA VOX's SACD Hybrid series, also mastered the recordings here (Savard originally recorded for the ASTREE label, but after Savard himself launched ALIA VOX, he released new recordings on the ALIA (Originally, Savall was recording for the ASTREE label, but since Savall himself launched ALIA VOX, he has been releasing new recordings on the ALIA VOX label, while at the same time transferring the material from his ASTREE days.) You can enjoy to your heart's content the musical mastery of Savard, a supreme treasure and legend of the ancient music world, a master among masters! King International
