Marc Mauillon (Bariton) // As an instrument from Italy, one that was exotic and evocative of Mediterranean atmospheres, the mandolin was very much in fashion in France until the end of the Century of Enlightenment. This recording offers a compilation of the finest music played during the veritable "golden age" enjoyed by the mandolin in Paris from the 1760s to the Revolution, a rare and unexplored repertoire.
