Liam Byrne and Linda Sayce
Bound with Silken Chords

The reign of the viol in French musical life coincided nearly exactly with the reign of Louis XIV, the great Marin Marais being its most eloquent and enchanting advocate. Liam Byrne (viola da gamba) and Lynda Sayce (theorbo),two of Britain's leading interpreters of early French chamber music, explore the genesis of his compositional genius and his influences from the early lute and viol music of Hotman and Du Buisson to the late virtuosic flowering of Forqueray.
