This album concluded the first part of our work on the French air de cour, begun in 1999; it is the last of a triptych devoted to the most famous composers in the genre, Estienne Moulinié, Pierre Guédron and Anthoine Boesset. The secular output of the last-named comprises 230 airs – much more than that of the other two, but still very little for a musical career of forty years or so. This is partly explained by Boesset’s perfectionism, as he confirms in the preface to his Eighth Book of 1632: „Yet I take the liberty of presenting these Airs, which are not a great many, coming as they do from one who willingly leaves quantity to others, and who works for the elite rather than the masses.“ (Vincent Dumestre)
