Marcel Moyse (1889-1984) was one of the most important instrumentalists of the 20th century. As a performer, he graced French orchestras until his solo career came to dominate his activities. His repertoire ranged from the baroque era well into the 20th century, including many works from major composers which he commissioned and premiered. As a teacher, Moyse had hundreds of successful students, including Paula Robison, whose essay on Moyse is included in the program notes for this CD. After moving to the United States, Moyse settled in Vermont, where he became one of the founders of the Marlboro Music Festival.

The bulk of the material in this CD comes from a previously unpublished 1952 recital for the Harvard Musical Association on Boston, performed by the Moyse Trio: Marcel, his son Louis (flute and piano), and Louis’s then-wife Blanche Honegger Moyse (violin). This short concert includes works of Bach, Schultze (formerly attributed to Handel), Haydn, Ibert, Debussy, Gennaro, Louis Moyse, and Rabaud. The
disc is filled with previously unreissued 78s of music by Cimarosa and Ibert.

Moyse’s playing and teaching are still revered by flutists. His influence continues through his recordings and through his many books of flute instruction.
