About

Born in Serez in 1705, Nicolas Chedeville is considered by many to be the most celebrated musette player France had ever had. The musette is a bagpipe-like instrument which was a common feature in French baroque music, and due to the instruments popularity at the time, He became a much sought after teacher among the aristocracy, eventually attaining the title of “Maître de Musette de Mesdames de France”. In 1739 Chedeville, who had already made a name for himself as an adaptor of several contemporary works, created a version of "The Four Seasons" including instruments such as the hurdy-gurdy and the musette. As a result of the inclusion of these instruments alongside the more usual violin and recorder, the music takes on a rural character which found particular favour with wealthy aristocratic amateurs and their romantic fantasies about peasant life.

The ensemble “Les Eclairs de Musique” was founded in 1996. It is made up of artists who have a special knowledge of techniques in the performance of baroque music, many of whom have worked with the greatest baroque groups of recent years including Academia Bizantina, Concerto italiano, I Barocchisti, and Les Arts Florissants.

This fascinating and rare recording, which was originally made in 2001 and released the following year has been re-mastered for 5.1 surround sound, and is being made available for the first time as a hybrid SACD.
