A Viennese Bouquet
|
This album of Classical and Romantic music for flute and piano, begins with Beethoven’s delightful variations on the folk tune ‘The Last Rose of Summer’ and ends with the rarely performed ‘Rondo’ by Franz Xaver Mozart, the younger of the only two sons to survive their father, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In between are grand sonatas by some of the finest Viennese composers of the day: Friedrich Kuhlau, Anton Eberl and August Eberhard Müller, plus a dazzling set of variations by the remarkable Leopoldine Blahetka, one of the most important female musicians anywhere in Europe in the 19th century.
