French composer Robert de Visée (c. 1655-1732) was known as a theorbo and guitar player. Around 1680, de Visée became a chamber musician for Louis XIV. The theorbo pieces for this recording are taken from the Saizenay manuscript compiled in 1699 by the French amateur lutenist Jean Etienne Vaudry, Seigneur de Saizenay. Not much is known today about Jean-Baptiste Barrière (1707-1747), an exceptional early 18th century French cellist and composer. Published between 1733 and 1739, Barrière’s sonatas for the cello and continuo are innovative and represent a significant technical challenge for the player. As a specialist in a variety of early plucked instruments, Esteban La Rotta has extensive experience with the repertoire of late middle ages as well as with the early Baroque Italian and French repertoire for solo theorbo. Active in the Montreal early music scene, Baroque cellist and viola da gamba player Jivko Georgiev belongs to the new generation of musicians who specialize in the historically-informed performance of music from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Viola da gamba player, Margaret Little has been invited to play with many early music groups in Montreal and abroad as a gambist and baroque violist and has toured in many countries. Canadian harpsichordist Katelyn Clark is a leading specialist in the performance of historical repertoire and experimental music for early keyboards.
