Artists: Daniele Ruggieri, Andrea Toschi
With a repertoire spanning almost 150 years, from 1844 right up to 1992, this release brings together a wide range of works for flute and organ by composers from a variety of countries and musical backgrounds. During the Baroque period, it was common to pair the flute (or recorder) with the harpsichord; the combination here of flute and organ is by contrast far more exotic, the great power of which the latter instrument is capable pitted against the domestic nature of the former. The works on this release are all rare gems, showing just how well these two diverse timbres are able to complement each other - and at the same time revealing the great skill of many lesser-known composers.
While the music on this release spans a large period of time, many of the works share a common thread of religion spirituality. German composer Hiller uses a Lutheran hymn as inspiration for his work Andante religioso, and the pieces by French composers Caplet and Gallon are both infused with a deep sense of mysticism, particularly pertinent as Caplet retreated to a monastery later in life. The religious theme continues into the more contemporary works by Italian composers D’Aurizio and Lincetto; the former was a noted composer of sacred music throughout his life, and Lincetto’s work Messa degli artisti is a modern take on a traditional meditative prayer.
An enterprising and original programme of works originally written for flute and organ by a wide variety of composers, spanning more than 150 years (not the usual compilation of Baroque lollipops like the Albinoni/Adagio or the Bach/Air!).
Featuring are works by composers Hartmann, Lachner, Donjon, Doppler, Hiller, Gallon, Genzmer, d’Aurizio, Manzino. They explore the rich possibilities and diverse qualities of the two instruments in a fascinating way, sharing a spiritual or liturgical background.
Superbly played by Daniele Ruggieri, flute (“beautiful and playful display of virtuosity” The Times) and Andrea Toschi, organ.

The Doppler brothers were brilliant but, even so, Franz didn't compose all his work before he was a teenager! I think that should be 1883 ... But thank you for giving us the names of the composers.

[@ChristopherDobey]

who else searched for 'flute organ' and landed here?

[@baqieux3731]

Me too. Love it.

[@RafikCezanneTV]

Truly a wonderful compilation. Thank you for posting.

[@BrilliantClassics]

Our pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!

[@fluteteatime]

yes hartmann and donjon! these pieces captures my heart right away as i started to listen, and i looked up the list of composers to find out one of my favorite composer's name...i loooove donjon.....❤

[@fluteteatime]

this is heavenly. now i am searching for the cd of this...😅

[@choeurdhommesdechaillot8077]

Merci pour ce bel ensemble d'enregistrements, Ou peut-on trouver l'album des partitions de ces morceaux pour flute et orgue. Thanks.

[@petetotaro9510]

What a major dichotomy! The flute has an angelic, pure Sound. The organ has rather raspy sound. I don’t think the two were meant to be justapositioned at the same Time!

[@RicardoErick1]

However, they are. Beautifully!

[@jocelyncrosby6357]

Agreed-- the flute has undergone a lot of changes from the time when the organ was invented. I find it kind of hard to sell the two together. Some of these were not my favorite. Perhaps an older flute would make more sense, except that they are much quieter even than our modern flute, which would make pairing them difficult in a practical way.

[@Merken.Sideral]

Who is the composer of the first piece?

[@rachellaurin7968]

Beautiful! But who are the composers of each piece?...

[@MrPotoroo]

So good I just bought it on Amazon. When it arrives I'll put up the list. Bloody hypnotic to listen to!

[@MrPotoroo]

Hullo Rachel Laurin - I've just uploaded them all - see above . . .

[@alexbo5998]

Ik zocht naar deze muziek, vindt het erg jammer dat veel gespeelde muziek door goeie muzikanten niet meer te vinden is. Ook van Roger Bourdin is veel verdwenen. Spotify heeft wel wat maar zijn mooiste vertolkingen zijn onvindbaar.
