There can never be too many recordings of the gamba music of Marin Marais, especially as long as they are as fine as this one featuring Josh Cheatham.

There can never be too many recordings of the gamba music of Marin Marais, especially as long as they are as fine as this one featuring Josh Cheatham. With his juicy but focused tone, virile but supple technique, and profoundly sensitive interpretations, Cheatham is a model Marais player, and he brings out the best in these excerpts from the Third and Fifth Books of music for gamba. There is plenty of variety in his playing; "l'Angloise" and "La Précieuse" are dryly amusing, the two Sarabandes are deeply soulful, and the Chaconne that closes the third suite is almost unbearably intense. The inclusion of Sainte-Colombe's three-movement Concert XLVIII adds not only variety but depth to the proceedings. Admirably seconded by gamba player Julien Léonard, sympathetically supported by master harpsichordist Skip Sempé, and lushly recorded by Paradizo, this disc will thrill listeners who love the moody beauty of Marais' incomparable music. ~ James Leonard, Rovi
