Following on from the critical acclaim of their recording of Sei Duetti by Johann Joachim Quantz, Australian early music group the Elysium Ensemble return with a new recording of the VI Sonates, Op. 51, for flute and violin by Joseph Bodin de Boismortier. Widely published during his lifetime and being a prolific composer, these six sonatas exemplify the opulence and elegance of the French Baroque vividly and authentically recreated by the flute of Greg Dikmans and the violin of Lucinda Moon. "Greg Dikmans and Lucinda Moon sensibly provide listeners with some welcome aural variety by performing the duets on flute and muted violin. They are a fine team, admirably ardent advocates for Quantz, and illuminate the surprisingly musical charms of these pedagogic pieces." (Classical Ear).
