For his 'Cabinet of Delicacies,' lutenist Eduardo Eguez has compiled a selection of French lute music, centered around composer Franz Philipp Le Sage de Richée. Little is known about his life, except that he apparently had to flee France and subsequently found a position in Breslau. He holds a central place in lute music because he brings together different styles and movements of French lute music and already foreshadows the later international style of composers like Sylvius Leopold Weiss, Corelli, and Händel. His music has only survived in his 1695 collection Cabinet der Lauten, from which Eguez performs a suite in B minor. In his preface to this collection, Le Sage de Richée mentions that he was a student of Charles Mouton, and he acknowledges the influence that the renowned masters François Dufaut, Denis Gaultier, and Jan Antonín Losy von Losinthal had on his work. Eguez has also compiled a suite from each of these four French lute masters, offering the listener a splendid panorama of French lute music in the 17th century.
