About

While Marin Marais is best known for his works for viola da gamba, he also composed for the flute; Michael Lynn’s recent rediscovery of manuscripts containing pieces for flute and basso continuo as well as duets caught the attention of François Lazarevitch and Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien, who now present the first recordings of these works. "This virgin territory did not open up to me straight away, and only did so after an ongoing exploration that took me more than a year... What is fascinating is that these pieces by Marais are not like anything already known in the flute repertoire; the flute at this period, around 1700, was still a very recent instrument”. To accompany the flute, François Lazarevitch has called on his long-standing partners Éric Bellocq (lute) and Lucile Boulanger (viola da gamba), who also plays Les Voix humaines, one of the great masterpieces written for her instrument, chiming with the previously heard version of Les Voix humaines composed for the flute!
