Composer: ROBERT de VISEE

Information:
“The King's Teacher” is a collection of suites by French Baroque composer Robert de Visée (Louis XIV's guitar teacher), elegantly performed by Eduardo Egüez on lute, theorbo and baroque guitar. This is delightful listening for those who have heard Eduardo's two J.S. Bach recordings on MA.
Robert De Visée, a renown guitarist and composer during the Baroque era, left a multitude of works for the lute, theorbo, and guitar; far more than J. S. Bach composed for those same instruments. Through the soundclips above you can get a feel for the beauty of this music.
For the cover, MA thought it would be nice to use an image of a flower. And, in their endeavors to find something they felt would work, they discovered that the Magnolia was named after the famous French Botanist Pierre Magnol, a contemporary of Robert de Visée. Fortunately, MA was able to use a beautiful Magnolia photo by Italian photographer Franco Pupulin (Another of his amazing photos was used for the cover of Buenos Aires Madrigal, MA #063, also available from ClassiQuest). MA Recordings has such a loyal following among record collectors in large part due to the sound they produce on their recordings. “The King's Teacher” was recorded in November, 2002 with MA's own custom made, line level mikes, at 96 kHz on a Fostex DVD-RAM recording machine.
