Background: Since the end of the seventeenth century French composers have shown a particular skill and deftness of touch in writing for the flute. The instrument owes much of its prominence in French music of the twentieth century to the use made of it in orchestral colouring by composers such as Debussy and Ravel.

This collection of works composed during the last sixty years ranges from Poulenc's Sonata, marked by rhythmic vitality and a delicate vein of sentimentality, Messiaen's Le merle noir, inspired by bird song, to Boulez's Sonatine, which the composer himself has characterised as 'organised delirium'.
