Contemporary in broadest sense, he was a student of Lully, next generation musically. And his instrument wasn't lute but bass viol (viola da gamba). Lute was going out of fashion by his time.

Better known for his lute works?  :D  :D  :D 
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

I've tried a few of his lute and viola da gamba chamber works, none of which impress too much.
