Jean Marie Leclair, difficult personality but matinee idol of the violin, wrote some of the most impressive yet sensuous music of the later French Baroque. The Four Nations Ensemble is presently preparing a recording of the sonatas of Book 4 containing the most impressive works for violin and a selection of glorious solo flute sonatas as well. Four Nations will offer a sampling of Preludes, Passacaglias, Sarabandes and Tambourins from this book as well as the second Recreation for violin and flute with continuo.

Performers:
Krista Bennion Feeney, violin
Charles Brink, flute
Loretta O'Sullivan, cello
Andrew Appel, harpsichord
