Description:

In the Beethoven anniversary year, we will listen to the music entrusted to the flute of the time...The hidden world of ancient instruments] The world proposed here by the RAMEE label, which brings us together with a variety of unusual aural experiences surrounding ancient music, is chamber music surrounding the flute of the early 19th century. The music of Kuhlau, a German-born Danish virtuoso, is played on a model instrument by Grenzer of Dresden and a fortepiano at a time when the number of keys had not yet increased as much as in the 18th century with the flauto-traverso. The music of Kuhlau, a German-born Danish virtuoso, who is often called the "Beethoven of the flute world" and whose many works are well known to players, can be appreciated to the fullest by returning to the instruments of his time. The Serenade Op.41, an arrangement supervised by the composer and based on Beethoven's early work (Serenade for Trio Op.25), also sounds suddenly appealing when juxtaposed with this work. The Serenade Op.41, an arrangement under the supervision of the composer, is suddenly very appealing.Moreover, now that more and more players are experimenting with such an approach using ancient instruments, we are now closer than ever to the true face of Beethoven, the saint of music. Tami Krauss, a flutist of ancient music from Israel, and Shuang Chai, a historical piano player who has been a duo partner with her for many years, are fresh in our memory for their beautiful film "The Golden Room in Paris" (BAC171/BAC571/NYDX-50054) with Julien Chauvin as the core. The two talented pianists from the Netherlands, a leading country in the field of ancient music, will interpret the piece for you. Naxos Japan
