About: Boismortier, Joseph Bodin de
Boismortier, Joseph Bodin de
Joseph Bodin de Boismortier (1689-1755) was a French Baroque composer writing a wealth of instrumental and vocal music. He was one of the first composers to have no patrons, having been awarded a royal licence to engrave music in 1724, and became a wealthy man from the sales of his music.
Boismortier was a prolific composer and he, alongside Rameau, lived through the Rococo age of Louis XV both writing music of great elegance and sophistication which proved popular with performers and audiences alike.
This volume contains the first two sonatas in the set of 6 Sonatas Op. 50 by French Baroque composer Joseph Bodin de Boismortier (1689 – 1755).
