Hello Ed,
"Micrologus" have not officially disbanded, but they haven't
performed for quite a few years now, which in fact means the
same... I have never met Marc Tallet personnally but heard of him
through the lady violist who probably was the one you heard in
Tokyo, Danièle Alpers.
Oh dear, was there a violist? I don't remember. I thought there was a
viola da gambist. I went and met Marc at the hotel and had a "jam". I
was rather surprised he didn't read from tab. He could sight read a
storm from notation though. He is a composer as well as lutenist.
She is in fact a regular member of my ensemble Le Trésor d'Orphée.
You can check it up there and see if you remenber her : http://
tresordorphee.free.fr. I have done a number of gigs with Jean-Louis
Bindi who was most certainly the singer in this Tokyo performance
you mention...
He is awesome. Very dramatic and like two people in one the way he
switches from soprano to bass. Good visual sense for the costumes also.
Early music is a small world, isn't it ?
Yes, it is. That pleases me most of the time.
