Brothers Franz and Karl Doppler were both accomplished flautists. Their compositions, sometimes written together, reflect the tastes of the period, making great use of Hungarian themes.
Le duo des flûtist français et japonais était ètonnant, mais c'était très bien. Je suis moi même la flûtiste, et je veux bien essayer les jouer moi même !!
In a recent quest to add flute compositions to my library, I ran across this CD. Do you find it difficult to find romantic flute pieces? It seems much was written for the flute in the baroque and classical periods, but the 1800's, much less. The first five pieces are flute fantasies with the "pastorale hongroise" being the only one written for 1 flute. The remainder are for 2 flutes. From the fantasy pieces, tracks 2, 3, and 5, I believe are the best.
The final work, the two flute concerto, is the best piece on the CD. It's very Mendelssohnish. Each mvt. is well written. The orchestration compliments the soloists very nicely. The performance and sound is very good and NAXOS does the Dopplers justice. If you are searching for romantic period flute, search no further. I highly recommend this CD and can't believe I am the first to review it. These are great forgotten works.
I have loved these recordings and found them totally inspiring. So much so, that I have purchased the music to two of the pieces on the disc and now both I and some of my better pupils are playing them. I play the CD in my car and find the the bright focused playing an apsolute uplifting experience.
