In the splendid setting of Louis XIV\u2019s Versailles, the late 17th century was to witness the meeting of the two greatest viola da gamba players of all time. Marin Marais was the son of a humble shoemaker and a pupil of the great master Sainte-Colombe. Antoine de Forqueray arrived at Versailles aged just 17 to join La Chambre du Roy, dazzling everyone with his frenzied virtuosity and provoking frequent quarrels with his choleric temper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marais and Forqueray clashed over everything. The former was a craftsman with aspirations to climb the social ladder; the latter, a haughty revolutionary of improvisation who boasted of never having written down a single note. Parisian artistic circles were a hotbed of gossip about these two great rival prodigies: gentle Marais, \u201cwho played like an angel\u201d, and furious Forqueray, \u201cwho played like a devil\u201d. Three hundred years later, the duel goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n
