"There are arguably as many versions of the Franco-Italian 'goûts réunis' approach as there are composers," says viola da gamba player Lucile Boulanger in the interview-format booklet here, correctly noting the multifaceted nature of the transition from the formal French court style to the dynamic and virtuosic music of Italy in the first half of the 18th century in France. It was not only a question of the new sonata genres but also of the replacement of viola da gamba with the newer violin. Thus Boulanger, with violinist Simon Pierre and harpsichordist Olivier Fortin, decided to throw the listener into the middle of the shift by performing with violin and viola da gamba together. A few Baroque pieces actually specify this combination, but here, the players arrange a pair of trio sonatas by Jean-Marie Leclair for violin, viola da gamba, and continuo. Presumably, the same was done with the pieces by Joseph Bodin de Boismortier and the less-familiar Louis-Antoine Dornel; this is not entirely clear, but instrumentation was flexible for works of this kind, so nothing the performers have done here is unidiomatic. As an entre'acte, there are sonatas for violin and continuo by Jean-Féry Rebel and François Francoeur, which show varying ways French musicians grappled with the Italian influence and also make the point that the gamba persisted in the continuo even as its presence as a solo instrument waned. The whole thing sounds rather musicological, but the performers are enthusiastic and sprightly; they are clearly well acquainted with the tradition, and lovers of the French Baroque will have the feeling of being at a state-of-the-art concert of the day. The Alpha label contributes clear, idiomatic sound from the Flagey studio in Brussels on an outing strongly recommended to French Baroque buffs.
