Franсois Lazarevitch and Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien - Bach Sonatas and Partita for Flute (2014)

This album offers us an especially interesting and singular interpretation of these treasures by Bach with a rhythmic approach not lacking in swing, and backed up by a continuo featuring first-rank instrumentalists. As director of Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien, Francois Lazarevitch has enabled us to discover numerous treasures stemming from dance and folk music. For the first time on Alpha, he has recorded a solo album, devoted to Johann Sebastian Bach's Flute Sonatas. His approach to these works benefits from his experience as the conductor of an ensemble, enriched by the particularly varied musical experiments he has carried out.
