About
This collection of Boismortier’s chamber music opens with the Ballet de village in G, op.52 no.1, published in 1752. A traditional sequence of dance movements is treated in a subtle and charming manner and concluding with a flamboyant chaconne: a stunning example of the composer’s refinement, grace and virtuoso writing for the flute which was his own instrument.
This Italian early-music ensemble then explores a more Italian side to Boismortier’s idiom with sonatas from the opp. 34, 37 and 91 collections. They alternate with excerpts from the vividly pictorial Pièces de clavecin, op.59, which capture archetypes of contemporary French society with wit and even sympathy in works such as La Valétudinaire. The music fits perfectly under the fingers: for clarity, refinement and expressive power these pieces are comparable in form and inventiveness to the keyboard music of François Couperin. Also wholly French in idiom is the Suite in D, op.31 for viola da gamba and basso continuo: its flowing and sensuous cantabile style may even be heard as a homage to Marin Marais, who had died in 1728.
