In this collection of lyrical gems by Boismortier, Couperin, de La Barre, Marais and Philidor,
Robert Stallman reveals the cultural crosscurrents that gave the flute a central role in the development of French chamber music in
the early 18th century. Supported by his longtime partnership with the superb continuo team of Edwin Swanborn, harpsichord,
and Karl Bennion, cello, Stallman once again offers a most appealing invitation to listening pleasure.
