Little is known about Monsieur de Machy, who introduced his Pièces de violle en tablature, published in 1685, with a detailed preface: his only surviving contribution to the heated debate at the time about the only true way to play the viola da gamba, in which he was of course in the right. Quarrels and vanities aside, these exquisite gamba pieces are unmistakable proof that he must have been a true master of his instrument, as Franziska Finckh impressively demonstrates here with four of the suites.
