This recording is the first time Philippe Gaubert's six chamber works have been united on an album.
The cover image for the album is "The Sleep of Endymion," painted in 1825 by Francoise-Reine Dagois.
Several pieces on this album, including Divertissement grec, Tarentelle, and Médailles antiques, are premiere recordings.
This album presents six of Philippe Gaubert's chamber works, which have remained obscure, alongside his more standard flute and piano repertoire.
Philippe Gaubert's miniatures for the flute are characterized by clarity of form, economy of means, and warmth of expression.
The opening piece, Madrigal, was recorded by the composer Philippe Gaubert himself, indicating its significance.
