Two seldom heard Romantic Flute Concertos by Dupuy and Büchner!
Edouard Dupuy (1770‐1822) was a precocious musical talent, violinist, flutist and singer (he sang the Danish premiere of Don Giovanni!). A flamboyant romantic and womaniser his adventures led him to various European countries, finally settling in Sweden. Ferdinand Büchner (1825‐ 1912) began his career as a flutist in various German orchestras. His talent was recognised by Anton Rubinstein, who appointed him as first Flute Professor in his newly founded Music Conservatory in Moscow. His Flute Concerto in F minor is a grand scale romantic work of symphonic proportions, demanding a high level of virtuosity of the soloist, especially in the substantial Cadenza in the third movement.
Beautiful performances by Ginevra Petrucci, who already recorded successfully for Brilliant Classics in the Flute Quintets by Kuhlau (5 star reviews in France and Italy!), accompanied by the Orchestra I Pomeriggi Musicali, one of the oldest (founded in 1945) and most respected chamber orchestras of Italy.
"The scandalously colourful Dupuy's work is rooted in classicism, while Büchner's displays a Verdian mix of seriousness and easy lyricism. Ginevra Petrucci plays attractively, and she is well supported by the Milan-based orchestra." Sunday Times, 6th September 2015
