In 1707 Joseph Marchand published his seven suites de pièces mêlée de sonates pour le violon et la basse. Marchand, who is completely forgotten today, played the violone in the prestigious Chapelle Royale and other ensembles under Louis XIV.

His suites introduced the dangerous double trill for the first time. With his wealth of ideas, the beauty of his harmonies, his virtuosity and his concern for balance of forms and voices, Marchand stands worthily in the tradition of Marin Marais, Sainte-Colombe or François Couperin.

The {oh!} Trio led by violinist Martyna Pastuszka brings to life a jewel of the early 18th century.
