The six Italian concerti recorded here were all written within 60 years. They show remarkable variety. Of these the Galuppi and the Ferrandini are the most extreme with sometimes weird harmonies.
• Say flute concerto and you will also say Johann Joachim Quantz. This 18th-century German composer has become almost synonymous with the genre. At the time he was a universally respected and cosmopolitan musician, equally talented as composer, performer and theorist. For quite some time Quantz was teacher and later Kapellmeister to Frederick the Great.
• Quantz's Italian temporaries have also been busy writing for the flute. Not just Vivaldi, who wrote solo concertos for almost any instrument. And people like Tartini and Albinoni are probably more readily associated with music for the violin. But they also composed flute concertos. The Flute concerto by Giordani is his only known instrumental work.
• The six Italian concerti recorded here were all written within 60 years. They show remarkable variety. Of these the Galuppi and the Ferrandini are the most extreme with sometimes weird harmonies. After over two hundred years this 'early' music can still move and even shock today.
• An original choice of 18-th century flute concertos in catching performances on period instruments.
•With explanatory notes by the soloist. Licensed from Vanguard
