Marin Marais was the great viol player at the court of the French King Louis XIV. The duo's programme begins with his variations on the famous theme "La Folia". This is followed by masterpieces by the great impressionists Gabriel Fauré and Claude Debussy and the piece "Capriccio à la lumière du sud" written by Tobias Kassung himself - a homage to the tango and the light of the south. Finally, there is the ravishingly virtuoso composition by Mathias Duplessy, a well-known Parisian composer who has wonderfully combined French lightness with flamenco and Brazilian bossa nova.
