Marie Nadeau-Tremblay - Obsession (CD)

Marie Nadeau-Tremblay - "Obsession" / "Obsession" is the fascinating theme of violinist Marie Nadeau-Tremblay's new album. She is joined by Mélisande Corriveau (viola da gamba), Eric Milnes (harpsichord and organ) and Kerry Bursey (tenor and lute). The works on this album share obsessive or compulsive characteristics: a theme and it's variations (Louis-Gabriel Guillemain's "La Furstemberg," La Folia, Une jeune fillette); a repeated basso continuo line (pieces by Dietrich Buxtehude and Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber) or a haunting rondo theme that returns constantly (François Francoeur).
