The Flute Almanac is pleased to present a special recording that will transport you to the heart of the French Baroque era. In collaboration with the Amarte Fonds and Roode Bioscoop in Amsterdam, Les Musiciens have released a live recording that is both a testament to their artistic dedication and a celebration of the rich musical heritage of 17th and 18th century France.
This recent concert, now available to a global audience, showcases the unique sound of French Baroque flutes played in their original low tuning. The repertoire includes exquisite works by composers such as Gautier de Marseille and Marin Marais, performed by flutists Thomas Reyna and Florencia Gómez.
Rediscovering Historical Sounds
Les Musiciens was founded in 2021 through the collaboration of close colleagues with a shared passion for historical performance. The ensemble specializes in French music from the 17th and 18th centuries, bringing to life the delicate and intricate sounds of the Baroque period through the use of authentic instruments and performance practices.
Their work is not only about performance but also education. Les Musiciens frequently partners with local organizations in the Netherlands to organize concerts and lectures that delve into the development and performance practices of French Baroque music. Through these efforts, they aim to inspire a deeper understanding and appreciation of this era’s unique musical language.
A Unique Recording Experience
The live recording of this concert is a rare opportunity for flutists and music lovers to experience the beauty of French Baroque music in its most authentic form. The use of period instruments and low tunings create a sound that is both rich and textured, offering a window into the past and the opportunity to hear the music as it would have been performed in its time.

Les Musiciens continues to explore and share the wonders of Baroque music, and we at Flute Almanac are proud to support their mission.
