These six suites are by Joseph Bodin de Boismortier and are his opus 35. On this recording Rebecca plays a one-keyed, boxwood Bizey flute pitched at 392 and made by Rod Cameron.
The recording was made at St. Bridget's Church, Solon, Iowa in October and November of 2005 with recording engineer Peter Nothnagle.
Boismortier was born in 1689 and settled in Paris in 1723. The following year he took out a royal privilege to engrave his works and began to publish his works at that time. He continued to do so until his death in 1755. He was one of the few composers of the time to earn a living primarily through the publication of his works. He did not rely on patronage. The flute was his favorite instrument and he made a significant contribution to it's solo repertoire. Boismortier was a popular and prolific composer. Jean-Benjamin de La Borde wrote about Boismortier in his Essai sur la musique ancienne et moderne that "…anyone who will take the trouble to excavate this abandoned mine might find enough gold dust there to make up an ingot."
