Biography
Charles François Grégoire de La Ferté was a French musician active around the turn of the eighteenth century. His Premier Livre de Sonates pour le violon et la basse, published in 1707 and dedicated to the Duke of Orléans, comprises twelve sonatas. These works combine French dance forms and expressive markings with the developing sonata tradition. La Vertuosa Compagnia de’ Musici di Roma recorded the collection in two volumes.
