Joseph Bodin de Boismortier (1689-1755) was a prolific French composer of the Baroque era, known for his accessible and elegant music. He played a significant role in the development of chamber music in France and published music without the traditional patronage system, making him one of the first composers to live comfortably off music sales alone. His output includes operas, cantatas, concertos, and a wide range of instrumental works that were often geared toward amateur musicians and the expanding market of domestic music-making.Recorded here is the entire Op.34 of Boismortier's catalogue, consisting of a collection of six sonatas for 4 parts (three sopranos and basso continuo) published in Paris in 1731. The three soprano parts are completely equal to each other, while the performance practice of the time allows the interchangeability of instruments, so that they may be played by either the violin, the flute or the recorder. The sonatas are characterized by graceful melodies, rich harmonic textures, and conversational interplay between the two instruments. Each sonata typically follows a multi-movement structure, alternating between lively dance movements and expressive slow sections.Performed with grace and spirit by the Italian Ensemble Labirinto Armonico, featuring 3 violins, flute, viola da gamba, archlute and spinet. They play on period instruments.
