Francois Francoeur (1698-1787) was, besides Jean-Marie Leclair, one of the most important representatives of the French violin school. He was able to combine the technical virtuosity of Italian provenance with French elegance and smooth melody. The Deuxieme Livre de sonate a violon seul et basse continue was published around 1730. The baroque violinist Anais Chen presents, together with Daniel Rosin and Maria Gonzalez, six of the twelve sonatas, which, on their first hearing, make you want more music from Francoeur.
