Luca Massaglia ([ Ссылка ]) plays "Flûtes" (no. 4 from "Suite Baroque", op. 176) by French composer and organist Jean Langlais (1907-1991).

Langlais composed the "Suite Baroque" (published in 1973 by "Combre", Paris) for an organ festival in Mulhouse, for a new organ built in the style of the Silbermann instruments typical of Alsace. To the French, the term "baroque" has had a pejorative connotation, meaning "grotesque, in corrupt taste, exaggerated". The baroque era in France was called the classical period, in honor of France's literary zenith. Langlais uses the term "baroque" here in its worst sense, and also pokes fun at the organ purists who would build organs designed only for music of the baroque era.

"Flûtes" is dedicated to Eugénie Malherbe, a nurse and friend of the composer.
