20th CENTURY BELGIAN MUSIC FOR FLUTE & PIANO.

 

Joseph Jongen:  Danse lente.  Sir Eugene Goossens:  3 Pictures.  Léon Stekke:  Nocturne, Op. 5;  Scherzo capriccioso, Op. 19.  Marcel Poot:  Légende.  Jacques Leduc:  Sonata, Op. 21.  Hao-Fu Zang:  Théâtre pour deux.

 

Denis-Pierre Gustin (fl.),  Carmen-Elena Rotaru (pf.).

 

These are all first recordings, of music by 6 Belgian composers (though Goossens by birth only, and Zhang by adoption!), and for two of them (Stokke and Zhang) it is their first entry in the CD catalogue.  Add that the music is all attractive, well-composed for the instrument, and excellently played, and you have an extraordinarily successful anthology lasting over 75 minutes.
