Valerie WALDEN : 'Lamare, Jacques-Michel Hurel de', Grove Music Online, ed. L. Macy (Accessed 30 March 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"Lamare [Lamarre], Jacques-Michel Hurel de
(b Paris, 1 May 1772; d Caen, 27 March 1823). French cellist. He entered the Institute of Pages in the Music of the King at the age of seven. He studied the cello first with J.H. Levasseur, and later with J.L. Duport (1787–90). After the Revolution he obtained a position at the Théâtre Feydeau (1794). Parisian audiences acclaimed his virtuosity, and his reputation soon equalled that of Duport. […]
Following Rode's lead, Lamare left Paris in 1801, travelling to London and Berlin and on to Russia, where he was joined by Baillot in 1805. In addition to private performances for the nobility, Lamare participated in the 16 subscription concerts given by Baillot's quartet between 1805 and 1808. When he left Russia and returned to Paris (via Poland, Austria and Belgium), however, he had difficulty in re-establishing himself as a soloist. […] He subsequently retired from solo playing, but remained in Baillot's quartet until 1815. Marrying a woman of independent wealth, he retired to Caen."
