Flute Voyage

Austrian flutist Birgit Ramsl and musical partner Vito Lattarulo, piano, take on a musical journey throughout several centuries of flute repertoire. Starting with the Sonata for Flute Solo by C. Ph. E. Bach, originating from the royal Prussian court in the second half of the 18th century and the Sonata "Undine" for Flute and Piano Op. 167 by Carl Reinecke, composed during the era of late Romanticism, the journey moves on to France, featuring the Divertimento for Flute and Piano (1953) by Jean Françaix and Le Merle noir by Olivier Messiaen from the year 1951. More conservative in style are the Sonata Op. 94 for flute and piano by Sergej Prokoffieff, composed during the year 1943 in Perm, Russia, as well as the Air for Flute Solo (1995) by Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu.
