The composer and violinist Jean-Marie Leclair (1697-1764) made a name for himself first of all as a dancer and ballet-master: in France at that time playing the violin and dancing often went together. Apparently he was moody, easily offended, misanthropic, and neither a pleasant nor a happy man, but as a composer he was first-rate. With the exception of his opera, Scylla et Glaucus, most of his prolific output was devoted to instrumental works. He wrote several books of sonatas, published between 1723 and 1753, and two sets of six concertos (1737 and 1743/4), all but one of which are for violin with string accompaniment. His sonatas show both the boldness and the technical ease of their composer, particularly his modification of the Italian sonata style to accommodate French taste. This recording follows a long series of concerts by Patrick Cohën-Akenine and Les Folies Françoises, devoted to the sonatas and concertos of Jean-Marie Leclair - works that deserve much greater recognition.

Fanfare - "Charles Medlam and the London Baroque provide energetic, ingratiating accounts of these energetic, ingratiating works...The opening movements in the suites strut with perky dotted stiffness and the fugal allegros drive relentlessly to their inevitable perorations...can be as strongly recommended to general listeners as to aficionados of the Baroque and of Leclair himself."
