Although Marin Marais is best known for his works for viola da gamba, he also composed for the flute. Only recently did Michael Lynn discover some manuscripts with pieces for flute and basso continuo as well as duets, attracting the attention of François Lazarevitch and Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien, who are now presenting the first recordings of these works. "This new territory did not open up to me immediately, but only after more than a year of exploration... What is fascinating is that these pieces by Marais are not comparable to anything already known in the flute repertoire; the flute was still a very young instrument at that time, around 1700," says the great flautist. François Lazarevitch was accompanied by his long-time 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.
