This is Volume 1 of Tempesta di Mare's two disc project of late seventeenth century French instrumental music. 'Suites' of musicwere often compiled from stage works that were being performed at the time and presented in the form of instrumental excerpts anddances. These 'Suites' contain some of the most tuneful, appealing and striking music of the period with works by Lully, Marais, and Rebel. The tradition of presenting 'Suites' as a separate musical entity spread throughout Europe and of course continues to this day.
