Well, I may have come across the fellow before under a different name, he seems to have had a few. He started out as John Cooper or possibly Cowper, and at some point became Giovanni Coperario. Or Coprario. Or John Coprario. All the same guy.\n<p>And magnificent stuff. Very Marin Marais, if you know what I mean. And if you don&#8217;t, this is probably not the stuff you&#8217;re looking for. But if you have found yourself at some point thinking <I>what about some music that is like Marais, but with a little more back-and-forth between the viols<\/I>, I would advise finding this album.\n<p>And, even better, it seems to pacify <i>Il Ragazzo Furioso<\/i>, aka The Youngest Member. I&#8217;m not sure how or why; I can&#8217;t imagine his breath is taken away by the dizzying complexity of it all, but it seems to work, and it&#8217;s a hell of a lot better than Raffi.\n<p><I>Tolerabimus quod tolerare debemus<\/I>,<br>-Vardibidian.\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Which Your Humble Blogger picks the disc by the viol player, which is nothing like judging a book by its cover.
