The Forquerays (dad Antoine and son Jean-Baptiste) were viol players par excellence, with Antoine among the musicians employed by Louis XIV. Jean-Baptiste’s fame rests on the publication of a book of his father’s music for viol and continuo in 1747, which in 1749 he re-worked for solo harpsichord. This five-disc set presents the complete Forqueray, so you get four discs featuring the five main suites and a few bonus pieces. The fifth disc is readings of letters either by or to the Forquerays – an odd choice. But wait, there’s more! The suites aren’t heard in both versions, but instead each one is randomly divvied up – one movement is viol, and the next several are harpsichord, even within the same suite.
